23 May

Gina & Siraaj meet with Darren & Daniel to recruit more MP’s for People’s Parliament in Dudley! Featured

On the 23rd April, myself and Siraaj went to Dudley Council house to meet with Daniel and Darren to discuss whether they wanted to become MP's for Dudley. We discussed how the Parliaments works and that the MP's (who were people with a Learning Disability) would hold the power over the professionals and that they would be given deadlines to complete a task set by the MP's and that every Parliament meeting is filmed to show when or if a professional hasn't complete a task and they say they weren't ask to. But this film shows footage saying that they would so they can't go back on their word!

We then explain that in between the big Parliament, there are MP meeting to which the MP's are kept inform with the progress of work done by the professionals. Afterwards, we explained that there would be Select Committees led by MP's who have chosen to specialise in a certain area.

So please watch this space!
