If we want our young people to be engaged in the democratic process, we must give them the tools to make well-rounded, fully informed decisions.

Well done. Great to see Northern Ireland punching above its weight in WorldSkills. A tribute to our young competitors, their tutors, plus our FE colleges and other training providers.
No victim should ever be expected to negotiate with their abuser to gain their safety.

We must never legitimise coercive controllers as "community leaders".
