Having Tegan Griffiths, a member of Cardiff Youth Council (CYC), sit on the Community & Adult Services Scrutiny Committee of Cardiff Council ensures that youth perspectives are represented in decisions impacting vital services like housing, social care, and community well-being. This role allows young people to contribute to discussions and scrutiny of policies that affect not only adults but also families and the broader community. It implies a more inclusive, intergenerational approach to decision-making, where the needs and insights of Cardiff’s youth are considered in shaping the city’s services, fostering a more responsive and equitable local government.
Every young person has rights: We, as a representative council for 11-25 year olds, advocate for positive change and children’s rights across the city.
