🗣 'It’s vital we hear from children, to know what they love, what they worry about and, most importantly, what they think needs to change for a better future.”
In this week's issue of First News, we hear from Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children's Commissioner for England. She's launching The Big Future, a national survey exploring key issues including AI, social media restrictions and voting at 16.
At First News, these topics are central to our mission. We believe young people’s voices deserve to be heard.
Do your kids want to have their say? The survey is now open: https://bit.ly/4dmiI0J 🔗
