Congratulations to our Year 10 pupils who applied, were interviewed and successfully secured a place on the NICCY Youth Panel.
This is a group of young people who advise the Commissioner on key issues and assist her in her work of safeguarding and promoting the rights and best interests of children and young people.
The panel are involved in a range of key functions within the organisation including involvement in projects; recruiting staff; media engagement; designing the website and publications and hosting conferences and presentations. Additionally, the youth panel members also have the opportunity to meet directly with government Ministers and officials, enabling them to challenge key decision makers and ensure their voice is heard. The Youth Panel receive training and support to enable this to happen.
We wish them every success!
