The Children’s Party is bringing young people together to get your voices heard about the things that matter to you.
A general election has taken place in the UK, and the First News Children’s Party is making sure young voices are heard by the people who will run the next government.
Young people are 30% of the world’s population, but 100% of the future, so it’s really important you get your say about the issues you care about.

As Children’s Commissioner it is my job to promote and protect the rights of children, and to make sure their voices are heard. The results of The Big Ambition will inform the views of the Children’s Party, to focus on responding to its most stark finding: that only one in five children agreed the people who run the country listen to what they have to say. As we head towards an election, I want to see politicians really listening the voices and views of children, who are the voters of the future.
– Children’s Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza
