Youth Voice Question Time is open to 11-19 year olds who live or go to school in the borough and is the first of a series of feedback sessions building on the success of the Youth Momentum Conference last year.

Young people will have the chance to quiz a panel of senior decision makers, including top councillors and police officers, about any issue that concerns them in a format similar to the BBC Question Time show. They will get help to prepare their questions and polish their questioning techniques.

The panel will include:

• Cllr Ravi Govindia - leader of the council
• Cllr Kathy Tracey - cabinet member for children's services
• Cllr Rex Osborn - leader of the opposition
• David Chinchen - borough police commander
• Marc Dataro - chairman of the Wandsworth Youth Council

The Wandsworth Youth Council was set up by the council's Youth Services department and has in recent years established itself as a key forum for consulting and involving young people in decisions about council services.

It meets regularly and develops campaigns, feeds into council decision-making processes, organises events, manages the Youth Opportunity Fund grant scheme and runs projects such as the Wandsworth Young Inspectors, who inspect council services and give feedback from a young person's point of view.

Wandsworth is developing its work with young people as part of a council-wide drive to increase aspiration and opportunity for borough residents.

Youth Voice Question Time will be at the Town Hall on March 21 from 5pm to 7.30pm.
