Hello, I'm Harvey, a young person from North Wales. I volunteer for Barnardo's and Children in Wales. I'm also an active #iwill ambassador. I believe it should be absolutely necessary for our government to consider a mandatory youth council for every local authority as it helps us access our right as children & young people but it also gives children & young people better opportunities to work with and even scrutinise their councils. It helps young people voice challenges that often get ignored.
More details
Gwynedd, Conwy, and Wrecsam all have youth councils/forums and opportunities for young people are more regular and the overall standard of living for young people is often BETTER in these areas.
