Every three years, the commissioner identifies issues to address when it comes to protecting children"s rights.

Rocio Cifuentes has been helped by one school to develop software that will enable more children to take part.

Pupils at Ysgol Ty Coch use eye-gaze technology to make their views known.

Leigh Wharton, a teacher at the school at Tonteg, near Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf, explained how it has been tailored for pupils to answer the commissioner"s questionnaire for the first time.

The software allows pupils to use their eyes to "give their opinions on what is important to them".

"Eye-gaze [technology] picks up the children"s gaze so if they dwell over a symbol that then activates it and gives an accurate feedback," she said.

"This means everything to the child and the family because it means that their opinions and voices are heard and they can be listened to as well."

The school caters for 210 pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities, including complex autism.

Pupils have been using the eye gazing system to communicate on school matters and when they feel ill as it enables them to pinpoint which part of their body is unwell.
