Candidate Statement: I’m Neli Rhys and I’m from the
Caernarfon area. My motivation for becoming a Welsh Youth Parliament member
this year is my passion toward the subjects I’m interested in and also my
connection with the subjects. I’ve competed in several public speaking
competitions with the Young Farmer Clubs (YFC) movement, so I find it easy to
speak in front of people.
I would hold group/one to one sessions for young people to
be able to share their opinions. Also create an Instagram profile to
communicate.
A lack of flexibility is the barrier of the three areas. I
had an intense experience of mental health and the lack of awareness was
frightful, a lack of support and a lack of understanding. The education system
didn’t help me at all either, again the lack of training in schools was really
disappointing. Welsh foster children are disadvantaged again due to the
weaknesses of the fostering system.
