This event is for students from Natspec member colleges to come together, discuss and collaborate on topics that are important to them and to make sure their collective voice is heard.

If your student council, or similar group, have a topic that they would like to see on the Parliament agenda, or if you would like to know more about our work developing the Learner Voice, please contact our Learner Voice Coordinator Andrew.evans@natspec.org.uk

The agenda is being decided by members of the Parliament but is shaping up to include sections on disability campaigning, learner-led research approach examples, sharing of best practice around accessibility and inclusion, as well as the sharing of key information. Don’t forget that attendees will also be able to claim our Student Voice Parliament badges with the SVP logo.

This will be a hybrid event and will have plenty of breaks including lunch. Participants will be asked to take part in group work and colleges are asked to provide appropriate sign language support for those young people in their college who may need it.
