Another busy meeting

This evening the new Youth Mayor and Deputy met before the official Youth Cabinet meeting to sign their role description and review the @VOGYouthMayor Twitter account.  They also made plans to create a poster which you should see in schools and youth organisations across the Vale very soon, and watch out for the new Youth Mayor Instagram account!

During tonight's meeting we learnt about the Member of UK Youth Parliament's recent training session with Children in Wales in preparation for the UK Youth Parliament Annual Sitting in November.  We also had an official response from the Vale Youth Service who set out what they plan to do with the recommendations we made in the Youth Service Satisfaction Report.  We are looking forward to meeting with the Senior Managers in March 2018 to review the progress that has been made.  More discussions took place about out priority work areas for this term of office including the Welsh Baccalaureate and low pupil moral, and gender equality in the PE curriculum.  We are hoping to invite some expert guest speakers to future meetings to gain more information on these topics which will help us set some objectives.
