Voice of the Child

Excellent morning yesterday listening to and watching presentations from seven groups - Youth Parliament, Germoe School, Young Carers, Penponds School, Illogan School, Volunteer Cornwall and Landrake Young Ladies.

Each of the presentations was well made demonstrating that youngesters are aware of issues, engaged with issues and able to put forward solutions. 

The event was part of a programme of increasing (and boy does it need increasing) the attention given to  seeking and understanding children's as part of the decision making process for those issues which effect them (and that is most issues) and ensuring that they understand the rationale for decisions when they are taken.
