This election is significant for Welsh politics, with a new electoral system. Voters will be split into 16 new constituencies to each elect six Members of the Senedd (MSs), and the total number of MSs will rise from 60 to 96.
Your voice matters, and this is your chance to make it heard. By signing our letter, youre adding your name to our call to action that we will send directly to candidates a month before the Senedd election. Its time Wales started putting children first.
We call on all political parties to support and strengthen child health services so that children receive the care they need and deserve, now and in the future. If you have any questions about 做厙輦⑹ Waless manifesto and our subsequent campaign activities, please get in touch!
To ensure decision-makers introduce the best public policy for children and young people, it can sometimes be more effective to work in coalition with other organisations. As such, we have endorsed several coalition manifestos and statements directed towards all the political parties.
These include:
I would like public facilities that are safe and accessible with grab rails, sound sensitivity considered, and not be expected to share disabled toilets with males! - Ella, aged 11
To be listened to and have my opinion respected. Also to have my mental health taken into account. Just because I look happy doesnt mean I always feel that way - Imogen, aged 12
For young people to feel heard around their physical and mental health concerns, and to them taken seriously - Rebecca, aged 23
For children to be heard and understood - Courtney, aged 17
Improved services that understand and see me as a person rather than as just my disability - Charlotte, aged 18
For the improvement of mental health services and communication in health gender dysphoria care - Hope, aged 16
