Secondary Youth Parliament Day - Thursday 8th February

On Thursday 8^th February, some of our young people attended the BATHNES Secondary Youth Parliament Day which focused on Health and Equality. They had the opportunity to take part in debates and discussions based on the 4 topics below:

1.       Dealing with discrimination
2.       Gender and mental health
3.       Sugar Smart
4.       Looking after your well-being 

Following on from the workshops, the young people presented their discussions to an audience and were asked to reflect and devise a set of actions to take back to their setting or school.
