Survey development

We started our Youth Cabinet meeting by congratulating the re-elected Youth Mayor Daniel Marshal and Daley Chapman who was elected as Deputy Youth Mayor.

We continued by looking over the new UKYP Make Your Mark results where the top three issues for young people in the vale of glamorgan were a curriculum for life, votes at 16 and transport.

We then discussed the recent announcement that there will be an official Youth Parliament for Wales in addition to discussing what this could entail for young people.

We focused the majority of the meeting on the Vale Youth Service satisfaction survey which we are in the process of writing. We concluded the meeting by discussing how including more subjects in a PSE curriculum would better prepare young people for life.

Cawsom gyfarfod effeithlon iawn heddiw, a chawsom llawer o amser i weithio ar ein prosiect newydd, siarad am barliment ieienctud yng nghymru ac amser yn yr ysgol i drafod sgiliau am fywyd.

Congratulations!

At last night's Vale Youth Forum meeting, the Leader of the Council, Cllr Neil Moore and the Vale of Glamorgan Mayor, Cllr Stuart Egan announced the new Youth Mayor.
