   #S3 - Ep 2 - The voice of young people - transitioning to University

   This podcast series will feature conversations with young people discussing topics relating to mental health and wellbeing that are important to them. In this episode, we will be discussing transitioning to University with two of the young people from the Barnardo’s London Region Voice and Influence (V&I) panel. The voices and lived experiences of children and young people are at the heart of Barnardo’s. We believe that children and young people should have opportunities to have their voices heard. They inform, shape and influence what we say, how we work and the decisions we make in every part of our charity.
