In accordance with our Articles of Association and as part of our ‘umbrella’ function, the Children in Wales Policy Council is a cross sector group made up of elected representatives from our membership, a number of key bodies and our Trustees. There are also some key observer groups.The group meets three times per year to discuss priority issues that are affecting the children, young people and families sector. The Policy Council reports to the Trustee Board and helps to steer our organisation by looking at joint policy strategies and priorities.
