Candidate Statement: I would like to be a valuable member to the Welsh Youth Parliament and show what I would achieve as a member. I have been a Welsh representative in the past for the Youth Shape Team for the 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea. This opportunity has allowed me to gain an understanding on how to represent Wales on an international platform. As someone with mild ASD I would work towards being a voice for children with neurodiversity in the education system and work towards providing the right support at the right time for neuro diverse kids in order to maximise their potential . I also wish to raise awareness on the growing mental health crises amongst our youth and how our communities can work to ensure our environment is a safe space for children to seek the help they need. As someone who is an active member of Scouting I also firmly believe that it is important to promote youth building organisations in Wales and ensure they play an active role in in the development of the youth.
