This event is available to full members of Natspec only.

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 will be decided by members of the Parliament.

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.
