About the questionnaire

You’ve been staying home to stay safe over the last few weeks. People who can help to make a difference to your life want to listen to how you have felt about having to do this because of the Coronavirus and any effect it has had on you.

This survey has been written by these organisations with help from children and young people:

• Welsh Government
• Children’s Commissioner for Wales
• Children in Wales
• Youth Parliament for Wales / Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru

The survey closes on 27th May so please complete it as soon as you can.

A carer’s poem about her job has been brought to life in the form of a television advert, created by the WeCare Wales campaign.

The advert features the voice of Emma Pinnell, reading her poem “Just a Carer” that she wrote for and performed on Rhod Gilbert’s Work Experience programme, filmed at College Fields nursing home in Barry.

A clip of her reading her poem on the show was watched more than 1.6 million times on the BBC Wales Facebook page, generating thousands of supportive messages for her from around the world.

The advert will be premiered today on ITV after Paul O’Grady’s For the Love of Dogs at 8:58pm. It will also be shown on Channel 4’s On Demand services, and a translated version of Emma’s poem aired on S4C.
