With the Wales UNCRC Monitoring Group, which she joined in 2002, and with practitioner and academic colleagues, she influenced the legislative policy for the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure 2011. In 2012 she co-founded the Wales Observatory on Human Rights of Children and Young People, which now operates from both Swansea and Bangor Universities. The Observatory works with academic, statutory and third sector partners, and with children and young people, to embed rights in public policy and practice, contribute to the research base for policy and law reform and to support accountability for children’s rights.’
