Your Entitlements
An 'Entitlement' is something that you legally have the right to. The Welsh Assembly Government has set out a list of Rights & Entitlements for children all over Wales and more specific Entitlements for young people aged 11- 25 years.
As a child (0-10yrs) in Wales you are entitled to:
* the best start in life;
* have time to play and to have fun;
* do well even when you don't have a lot of money;
* be healthy in body and mind;
* be protected from harm and have people treating you well and respectfully;
* a safe home and a safe area for you to live;
* different ways of learning that suit you;
* be listened to whoever you are.
As an 11-25 year old you have extended entitlements that mean you are entitled to:
1. Education, training & work experience tailored to your ambitions.
2. Training in basic skills to open doors to a better future for you.
3. A wide and varied range of opportunities for you to participate in activities.
4. Access to facilities and services for you.
5. Advice on health, housing & benefits.
6. Leisure and sporting opportunities for you within a safe environment, with the opportunity to socialise.
7. One to one careers advice to explore your interests and abilities.
8. Confidential support and advice on issues you feel are important.
9. Sporting, artistic, musical and outdoor experiences to develop and broaden your ideas.
10. Be heard and listened to on your views.
