Hi Everyone,
I'm really enjoying reading about what your passionate about, where you get your information from and how you like to have your say. You've all had some wonderful ideas and I am proud of the passion.
So building on this, I am wondering if you did want to make a change to government policy where would you start?
Whats the first point of call to make a change for you?
Looking forward to discussing below

If it was something unique or local, maybe I would!
I guess I would think about what I would want to change and then do my research as to where the law/policy currently stands. I would then think about what the problem is and what needs to be done to make a change. I'd outline this, with relevant quotes, to my local MP. Could also make a petition but a lot of the ones I've seen online, I never hear about the outcome so not sure how effective that would be. Other than that, I would try to raise awareness (talk it about on social media, blog about it, take it to the press) to get more people involved in campaigning for change.
Interesting to hear other people's thoughts!
I would probably write to my local MP or email a journalist from a newspaper if it was a suitable topic!
I've spent this weekend working with a cool bunch of organisations (DCMS, Policy Lab, BYC) who we're collaborating with to build a digital platform which will allow young people to have a say in government policy making consultations. We spent some time looking at your responses to this thread. They gave us a massive insight into how you try to influence government policy. This really helped us develop ideas to build a platforms that we hope will make doing this even easier. I also wanted to mention all your responses were kept totally anonymous - we didn't share your usernames, profiles or any details, so your information is safe!
It's a really exciting project and this certainly won't be the last you hear of it...we've got loads of cool plans to engage with you further! Thanks for all of the help - your responses were great! Anyone curious about the project just ask!
