An independent review of children's policies in Wales has pointed out gaps and inconsistencies in services offered to vulnerable children.
The report said that many children's services were 'sound', but that they were delivered in an 'uneven and unsustainable' way. The Welsh Assembly government said many key points had already been implemented.
Commissioned by First Minister Rhodri Morgan and Children's Minister Jane Hutt in December 2003, the review was also asked to examine the 'risks and opportunities' posed by the Internet and new technology.
Hutt said the report provided 'a great deal of evidence of the progress that has been made in safeguarding vulnerable children'.
