Seren yr Wythnos/Achiever of the Week
Charles, Year 11
Congratulations, Charles!. Recently, 15 young people, aged 13-16, from across Wales were chosen to be a part of a Welsh Ofcom team. This is a team that looks at managing relationships and communications online across all sectors of society. Charles made the national youth working party and has been attending meetings online and in-person in Cardiff too. So far meetings have discussed whether mobile phones should be banned from school, fake news, AI, and much more too. Last Tuesday, Charles met with the group and with the full time Ofcom team in Cardiff to discuss new laws focusing on the use of social media, and the responsibility that must be taken by those who own apps to be safe online, ensuring that there is no harmful content. Charles also had a group VIP visit to the Millennium Centre to work on a presentation for Safer Internet Day. His group chose sexploitation and catfishing as topics that they felt would resonate most with young people. What a fantastic experience and achievement. Well done, Charles!
