Children in Wales

Children in Wales is the national umbrella body for organisations and individuals who work with children, young people and their families in Wales. They:

  • Contribute to making implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child a reality in Wales

  • Fight for sustainable quality services and fair shares for all children and young people

  • Ensure special attention and treatment for children in need and those who are marginalised

  • Ensure children and young people have a voice

 

 

The All Wales Forum of Parents and Carers of people with Learning Disabilities

The All Wales Forum was set up by a group of parent carers across Wales who want to have 'voice and control' over the way in which services for their children with learning disabilities are planned and delivered.

 

AWF's core mission is to bring a national voice and recognition to parents and carers of children and adults living with learning disabilities in Wales.

 

 

Family Information Service (FIS)
