We must help children to conquer today's challenges

The children and young people of Wales have given me some strong messages about what I should prioritise in my strategic plan for 2016-19, with bullying, play and leisure, safety and helping those in poverty all emerging as important.

It had two phases. The first was a qualitative, face-to-face phase. My team and I met 1,000 children and young people from toddlers to late teens between April and July 2015.
