A Children's Commissioner is sometimes described as a children's champion and an independent human rights institution for children. Exactly what a Children's Commissioner does, and how they do it, varies from country to country - but they always have the interests of children and young people at heart.

Why do children and young people need a Commissioner?

Children and young people need someone to speak up for them and make sure that they are being listened to and treated fairly.

We're here for everyone aged 18 or under living in Wales, or who normally lives in Wales.

We can also help older young people who've been in care, and look into things that affected some adults while they were children.
