The 16 Priorities for Wales were agreed with external partners as part of the 2008 UNCRC reporting process. They cover a number of important policy areas including Child Poverty, Positive Outcomes and Children’s Budgeting.

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) examined the UK Government in September 2008 to see how well it is protecting children’s human rights. The Committee meets every four to five years to review the progress that has been made.

Information on the progress that had been made was provided by the four UK Governments (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales), and other organisations who have an interest in Children’s Rights.

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child asked a number of questions about key priorities and those in the document below were agreed for Wales and submitted to the UN Committee.
