A huge diolch to everyone who took part in today's Law Careers Day at Bangor University.

It was fantastic to see so many students from schools across the region engaging with legal professionals, learning about different career pathways, and exploring opportunities within the legal sector.

We hope the event has inspired students to think about their future careers and given them valuable insights into the many routes available into law 😊

Teachers and parents! Encourage your young people to complete the Youth Voice Cencus 👇🏼

The survey is for people aged 11-30 living in the UK and will help to understand what young people need right now 💻

Looking for an engaging PSHE, tutor time or enrichment activity over the coming weeks?

The Youth Voice Census gives young people the opportunity to share their views, experiences and aspirations, while understanding the importance of having their voice heard.

The Census can be completed within a 45-minute PSHE or form-time session and gives students the chance to contribute to a national conversation about the issues affecting young people today.

The findings are presented to Parliament, helping ensure young people’s views are heard by decision-makers. It’s a powerful opportunity for students to see how their opinions can help influence real-world decisions and shape change.

The Census has now been extended until 22nd June.

Take part here: https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/91044376/west-of-england
