The protocol is for both devolved and non-devolved organisations in Wales and is jointly published with the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice.
The protocol will help those who come into contact with care experienced children and young adults while carrying out their work, in sharing a common framework of principles and expectations informed by an approach that actively promotes children’s rights and which safeguards and promotes their wellbeing.
The Welsh Government will work with partners to support the implementation of the protocol and to secure better outcomes for care experienced children and young adults in Wales.
