The Big Conversation: In conversation with the Children’s Commissioner and her youth Ambassadors is my podcast series where I share the voices and views of England’s children.
The podcast draws on the themes in The Big Ambition and will focus on the most important issues that are impacting young people’s lives, with solutions developed with children from across England.
Episode 7 is slightly different to other episodes in the series as it shares a panel discussion, Building the Foundations: the early years as a foundation for childhood, that was part of the Children’s Commissioner’s Our Future Our Voice: A festival of childhood at Young V&A. The panel was chaired by Dr Helen Charman, Director of Young V&A and the panellists were Children’s Commissioner Youth Ambassadors Rebecca and Maya, Frank Cottrell Boyce, Children’s Laureate, Jamel C. Campbell, early years educator and author, and Rachel Bagshaw, Artistic Director of Unicorn Theatre.
