Document which describes all of the Welsh Assembly Government programmes which impact on the lives of children and young people, in the context of the aims and priorities in Assembly's strategic plan, Better Wales. It sets out the principles which should underpin provision for children, with reference to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and based on relevant legislation, particularly the Human Rights Act 1998. It proposes a way in which all of the local partners who provide services for children and young people can work together in an integrated framework, designed to meet the needs of children rather than those of service providers. It places at the centre of this activity the requirement to listen and respond to the views of children and young people themselves.
