‘Getting it Right’ is a 5-year rolling Action Plan for Wales setting out our key priorities and actions in response to the Concluding Observations of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child 2008.

‘Getting it Right’ forms part of a wider UK commitment across the state party which is underpinned by individual plans for each of the devolved administrations in the UK.

The Plan will be a living organic document and will be subject to regular review and further development to ensure that it keeps abreast of new developments in policy and strategy and remains relevant and timely. This will enable us to add any new priority areas if and when they emerge during the 5-year period and remove from priority status any areas where we, and our partners, may consider sufficient progress has been made.

By the time of the next review of progress by the UN Committee we aim to be  able to demonstrate significant progress across all of the priority domains for which Wales has legislative competence and devolved powers.

Supporting all children and young people across Wales to know about, exercise and access their UNCRC and human rights will enable them to lead happier lives, better fulfill their potential and improve their well being.
