The Commissioner has embarked on a five year plan - Ambitious for Children to improve outcomes for children - particularly those who are most vulnerable. Responsible for representing the best interests of all children, this statutory role has particular responsibilities to listen and respond to children in care and others who are living away from home. An Advice and Assistance operates to provide advice, assistance and representation for children in care who are not getting the care and support they have a right to. The Commissioner wishes to significantly extend the awareness and use of the service. The aim is to ensure that all children in care are aware of the availability of this support by the end of 2017 with a tenfold increase in engagement with the service as a result. Creative support is sought to develop a brand and awareness raising campaign with support materials to deliver this.
