A real need to listen to young people: councillor’s feedback on youth event

Councillor Rosa Gomez has provided feedback on the youth engagement event she organised in September.

“The event showed there is a real need to listen to young people. We had a prime example of this in regard to sex education in schools, which appears to be insufficient, particularly given the current concerns over the safety of women and girls… I was also pleasantly surprised by the level of concern youngsters had about the climate crisis and had particular examples of how they can promote litter-free communities.”
