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 themes children and young people have said are most important and will focus on the most important issues that are impacting young people’s lives, with solutions developed with children from across England.
In Episode 15, Children’s Commissioner Youth Ambassadors, Penelope, Anna, Arianne, Fasanya, Sebastian and Temi speak to BBC Commissioning Editor, Melissa Harding, and Content Creator, Big Manny, about the children’s media landscape, edutainment – from Horrible Histories to science explainer videos, and the future of children’s TV.
Tell the Children’s Commissioner what it’s like to be a child or young person in England today – what you love, what worries you, how you have fun, and the changes you want for a better future by having your say in The Big Future Survey: www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/the-big-future.
