This interactive workshop is the first in a two-part series. It will look at the work of Parliament, who works there, what both Houses do and answer those questions you may have but hadn’t had the opportunity to ask. Lasting one hour, you will get a full overview of how UK Parliament works for them:

  • How are Parliament and Government different?
  • Who is your MP, what do they do, and how can you get your voice heard by MPs?
  • What does the House of Lords do?
  • How do MPs and Lords raise issues on their behalf?

Presenter:

Kerrie Carpenter is the Senior Education and Engagement Outreach Officer (South East), and a member of the Education and Engagement Outreach Team and the Chamber and Participation Team of UK Parliament.

Chaired by Dr Donna Smith.
