Stephen Hutchinson, the Senior Youth Worker for Hounslow, came in to talk to 7 Kent during PSHE this week. He talked to them about local and national government, his role as the youth worker, and how they could get involved in the youth council. This helped the pupils build on their understanding of the political system in the UK, the difference between MPs and councillors, and what they can do to get involved in politics. They will also all be voting as soon as they turn 18!
