Please set out any views on missing children below.

§ Nature and
scale of the issue and regional variations.
§ At risk groups:
including the impact of care experience and out of area
placements.
§ Practice:
issues such as information sharing and data collection.
§ Policy: the
effectiveness of devolved policy and practice responses, including
Welsh Government oversight. Whether there is effective read across
to relevant Welsh Government strategies.
§ Devolved and UK
powers: how joined up is the interface between devolved and
non-devolved policy such as criminal and youth justice.
Please set out any views on children and young people who are
victims of criminal exploitation below.
You may wish to consider:
§ Nature and
scale across Wales and regional variations (e.g. traditional, drug
related, sexual, financial).
§ At risk groups:
including care experience, children experiencing trauma in the home
and children not enrolled in mainstream education.
§ Policy: The
effectiveness of devolved policy including Welsh Government
oversight. Whether there effective read across to relevant WG
strategies such as Child Sexual Exploitation.
§ Practice:
Approaches to prevention, community resilience, early intervention,
support provided and exit strategies for victims. Practice issues
such as information sharing and data collection.
§ Devolved and UK
powers: How joined up is the interface between devolved and
non-devolved policy such as criminal and youth justice? Are there
any points of tension between criminal law and safeguarding?
Please set out any views on other groups of children on the
margins.
You may wish to identify other groups of children “on the
margins”. These would be groups of children in circumstances
that require a specific response from children’s services or
other statutory providers and for which there are concerns about
the current policy or practice.
It is very damaging that this inquiry
conflates "outside of mainstream education" with "at risk" and "on
the margins." There is no evidence whatsoever that children
educated at home rather than in school are at any more risk than
the rest of the junior population - rather if anything the
opposite. The consultation shows other evidence of hasty
drafting (typos for instance) and should immediately be corrected
and all references to home education removed.
