• to represent and consult with members
• to develop policy, practice and research
• to raise public, political and professional awareness
• to support new and existing initiatives

Children in Wales is a membership body and is open to individuals and organisations from a wide range of fields with varying interests, but all of whom are interested in improving the lives of children and young people in Wales.
