Biography

Levi was a Member of the first Welsh Youth Parliament from 2018 to 2021.

The following was his candidate statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:

My Key Issues are:

  • Children having a say when being looked after by the local authority.
  • Local authorities implementing a deprivation of liberty under the social services and well-being act 2014; young people to be aware of this fundamental power of the local authority.
  • Care orders; should there be a stricter criteria / threshold for one to be made.

The are my chosen three areas as they have a personal message not only to young people across Wales but to me.

Being looked after and going through this system of care I believe these pledges are important.

As a looked after child by the local authority I would love to share my experience about my time in care, I would also like to speak on behalf of young people as we don’t have the capacity to speak about these sort of things on at this level.
