Children and young individuals who are looked after are those who are minded by the state under UK and Wales national legislation.
Plant ac unigolion ifanc sy'n derbyn gofal yw'r rheini sy'n derbyn gofal gan y wladwriaeth o dan ddeddfwriaeth genedlaethol y Deyrnas Unedig a Chymru.
These children are one of the most vulnerable groups in society. Wales has seen a rise in children being taken into care with the majority being removed from their families due to abuse or neglect.
