Introduction
1.These explanatory notes relate to the Children’s Commissioner for Wales Act (‘the Act’), which received Royal Assent on 11th May 2001. They have been prepared by the Wales Office in order to assist the reader of the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament.
2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not intended to be a comprehensive description of the Act, so where a section or a part of a section does not seem to require any comment, none is given.
