Rapid review into child protection arrangements

We are working in collaboration with partners, to review the structures and processes in Wales to ensure children's names are appropriately placed on, and removed from, the Child Protection Register.

The review will focus on multi-agency decision-making.

Fellow inspectorates Estyn (External link) and Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (External link) will also carry out fieldwork for the review and will contribute towards the final report, which will be published later this year.

Get involved

We really want to hear from children and young people who within the last six months had their name placed on or removed from the child protection register.  

We have worked with the organisation Mind of My Own (External link) to create the following surveys.

This survey is for children and young people to complete and we would be grateful for hear about your experiences.

We also would like to hear from parents and carers about your experiences of child protection arrangements:
