For the 2nd year in a row an ATS student has been elected to the UK Youth Parliament. After the successful appointment of Andrew Short last year, we now have Daniel Long in year 9 elected to this important role.
The UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) enables young people to use their energy and passion to change the world for the better. Run by young people for young people, UKYP gives the young people of the UK, between the age of 11 and 18 a voice, which is heard and listened to by local and national government, providers of services for young people and other agencies who have an interest in the views and needs of young people.
One of the first things Daniel will do is attend a training residential in the Isle of Wight this week-end where he will be taught about all aspects of his role. The session will include the other elected members from all the London Regional elections. We will keep you posted on how Daniel gets on in his role.
