Every child and young person in Wales is legally entitled to certain things.
The Welsh Assembly Government wants every young person in Wales aged 11-25 to have the same rights or entitlements. Rights come with responsibilities – for adults and for you as a young person. The things the Assembly thinks you should be entitled to are opportunities and choice:

Your Rights
- To learn what your rights are and understand them.
- Make sure you are able to claim them and to understand and accept the responsibilities arising from them.

Being Heard
- It is your right to have the opportunity to be involved in making decisions, planning and reviewing an action that might affect you. Having a voice and choice even if you don’t make the decision yourself - your voice, your choice.

Feeling Good
- To feel confident and feel good about yourself.

Education & Employment
- To be able to learn about things that interest and affect you.
- To enjoy the job that you do.
- To get involved in the activities that you enjoy including leisure, sporting, artistic, hobbies and cultural activities.

Taking Part/Getting Involved
- To be involved in volunteering and to be active in your community.

Being Individual
- To be treated with respect and as an equal to everyone.
- To be recognised for what you have to contribute and for your achievements.
- To celebrate what you achieve.

Easy Access
- Easy access in getting the best services that you should have, locally and nationally, and to have someone available to help you find them.

Health & Wellbeing
- To lead a healthy life, both physically and emotionally.

Access to Information & Guidance
- To be able to get information, advice and support on a wide range of issues that affect your life, as and when you need it including advice and support relating to your career.
