Information About

Children's Commissioner For Wales




The post was established following a decade-long campaign by children's organisations in Wales. In 2000, Sir Ronald Waterhouse published the report of his inquiry into Abuse in children's homes in north Wales, and recommended the creation of a Children's Commissioner post to prevent such scandals in the future. The UK Parliament subsequently passed the necessary legislation for the position to be established.

The Children's Commissioner has a number of legal, communications, policy-making and administrative staff, based in offices in Swansea and Colwyn Bay .
