The Children's Commissioner for England
Promoting the views and best interests of children and young people in England
We would really like to hear all about how children and young people had their voices heard during the Children's Commissioner's Takeover Day 2011.
We are delighted by the immediate feedback on Twitter #takeoverday2011. It looks like you all had amazing and diverse experiences.
Now we need children, young people and adults across government departments, local councils, media outlets, police and hospital services, schools and businesses to share their day with us.
