Children in Wales | Putting children at the heart of our work

Have your say in this year's Big Conversation

We will be hosting the Big Conversation with parents across Wales, where you will have the opportunity to discuss the issues and topics that matter most to you and your children.

To help shape the conversation, we're asking you to complete a short poll and tell us which topics you would most like us to focus on.
