Assembly Committee Inquiry into safe places to play and hang out

During the its all about you project carried out during the summer 2009, children and young people in Wales told us that they were concerned by the current level of safe places to play and hang out provided for them in Wales. As a result, the Children and Young People Committee has decided to carry out an inquiry into the provision for safe places to play and hang out. The terms of reference for the Committees inquiry are attached at annex 1.

Call for written evidence

The Committee is interested in finding out your views on the issues affecting the provision of, and barriers to accessing, safe places to play and hang out. Written submissions that address either some or all of the areas set out in the terms of reference will be welcomed.

Call for evidence from children and young people

We are keen to encourage children and young people to tell us their views on the issues. Links to electronic versions of questionnaires for children and young people are attached at annex 2. Hard copies of the questionnaires can be obtained by emailing your request to: children&youngpeoplecommittee@wales.gsi.gov.uk The Committee will also welcome video and photographic images as evidence from children and young people in place of, or in addition to written evidence. Video and photographic evidence should be appropriate for broadcast and should be presented in such a way as to make the photographers views clear. Videos should be no more than 5 minutes in length. The Consent Forms which contain the Terms and conditions for submission of video and photographic evidence are also attached at annex 3.
