We’ve elevated youth voices, joined panel discussions, and spoken with MPs. Now, we need decision-makers to back an enrichment guarantee.

Today’s job. Enroll most of September’s year 9 onto the Bronze @dofe.org award.

Thankfully this year, I am a bit ahead of myself as I asked them who wanted to join in year 8 - and can now process the list.
