We are pleased to announce, we have four students representing the Staffordshire Youth Union as newly elected members. 

SYU is a countywide youth forum made up of members from the whole of Staffordshire, and elected as Youth Representatives by their peers aged 11-18. Their activities are by young people, for young people.

The students have their first meeting in December and we look forward to hearing how they use their voice in their new role.
