Rebecca was delighted to meet young participants of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme at the Youth Voices 2024 parliamentary launch reception, hosted by Baroness Grey-Thompson this week, and pledged her support to listening to the voice of young people in her role as an MP.
"Research shows that young people are driven by global issues like climate change and human rights, but worry more about local issues such as housing costs, the economy, and the NHS. They are politically engaged, primarily through social media, and comfortable sharing their views – but, importantly, feel unheard by and disconnected from politicians.
The DoE called for all MPs to back a Youth Pledge, committing to introduce a clear process putting youth voice representation at all levels of policy and decision-making, especially on issues that impact young people."
