We attended our final Liverpool Schools’ Parliament session for this school year. The feedback provided by the students in our previous meetings has been invaluable to the local council and Child Friendly City team. They were able to share an update with us about what our involvement has influenced. 

As well as this, we looked forward to the future of Liverpool Schools’ Parliament and helped to suggest topics to be covered in meetings in the next academic year.

Our Schools' Parliament members had their final meeting on Wednesday at the Town Hall. We thought about PLACE and what could make our future happier and healthier #YoungVoicesBigIdeas Our ideas will be used for an upcoming exhibition at the Museum of Liverpool in October, later this year.

Emmaus Schools' Parliament members met with Paul Olubayo, Liverpool's Race Equality Officer for education at the Town Hall on Monday. We explored 'racism and belonging' in relation to our school & city. It was great to talk about such important issues and to consider how we can treat each other fairly.

Our Schools' Parliament members met at Liverpool Town Hall with Liverpool City Council leader Cllr Liam Robinson and Cllr Lila Bennett to discuss children's mental health in schools and around our city. It was great to have our voices heard.

It was great to be back in Liverpool Town Hall for the Liverpool Schools' Parliament session. Summer, Ace, Anna and Max reflected on "What does education mean to you?" Lots of super discussion between schools and a chance to have our voices heard. We can't wait for next month's session!

Child Friendly City (CFC), which organises the Liverpool Schools' Parliament, has recently relaunched this scheme and we have chosen our four representatives, Anna, Max, Summer and Ace. We look forward to our first meeting with Schools' Parliament members from other schools around the city. This will be held in Liverpool's Town Hall in January 2024. 

Liverpool School’s Parliament has given an opportunity for the children and young people of Liverpool to have a voice on matters of concern and to be heard by the people who have influence in the running of the city. 

The parliament has also provides an opportunity for them to participate in a range of exciting events and activities and empowers pupils to make a real difference within their community.

The Upper House represents those young people aged 11-19.
The Lower House represents those young people aged 7-11.

Meetings of the Parliament previously took place in the Council Chamber of Liverpool Town Hall but, since the Covid-19 pandemic, they have been taking place via Zoom. Liverpool Schools’ Parliament is an official committee of Liverpool City Council. All decisions made by the Parliament are passed on to Liverpool City Council. Most recently we have been giving our views and input on Liverpool as a Child Friendly City.
