Advocacy

The All Wales Children and Young People’s Advocacy Providers Group has issued a response to a report by by the Children, Young People and Education Committee of the National Assembly for Wales, following their inquiry into statutory advocacy.

The response has been submitted by Children in Wales in consultation with NYAS Cymru Tros Gynnal Plant Voices from Care Cymru  and with ProMo Cymru (on behalf of the MEIC service).

This is the unified call that was issued by the All Wales Children & Young People’s Advocacy Providers Group in relation to the Stage 2 Amendments to the draft Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Bill relating to advocacy.

This letter was sent to the Deputy Minister for Social Services by 74 Welsh organisations concerned with both children’s and adult’s advocacy services.  It called for independent advocacy services to be improved and extended as part of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Bill.

This briefing paper was developed by the All Wales Children and Young People’s Advocacy Providers Group  in advance of both Round Table discussions organised by the Children’s Commissioner and the first meeting of the Welsh Government Ministerial Advocacy Expert Group.

This is the All Wales Children and Young People’s Advocacy Providers Group one year update to the recommendations for advocacy provider organisations included in the Children’s Commissioner for Wales review of independent professional advocacy services for looked after children and young people, care leavers and children in need in Wales.
