Women's Aid are inviting young people across the country to put their questions and suggestions about domestic violence to the most influential people in government, schools, the police and social services. Their answers will be posted on The Hideout on 16th-19th September where interviews with the Children’s Commissioner, Helen Grant (MP), the National Union of Teachers and others will be posted for you to watch. Young people will be invited back to post back any comments they might have.
Send this information onto young people right now so they will be able to take this opportunity and be able to ask those question they may have been too afraid to ask to social services, the police, the children’s commissioner, teachers and politicians.
More information can be found on The Hideout - Teenspeak.
