Unlocking Potential: What I Have Heard From a Million Children

What do children across England really think about their lives, their futures and the adults around them?

Dame Rachel de Souza, Children's Commissioner for England, has been listening. In this free public lecture, she shares what over a million children have told her, and what it means for all of us.

This lecture is a chance to hear those insights first-hand, with time for questions and discussion. Whether you work in education, business, health, local government or simply care about the next generation, this event will give you something to think about and act on.

This event is jointly presented by Southampton Education School (University of Southampton), Business in the Community and RSA Southampton, as part of Dame Rachel's visit to the City. The event is open to all.

Tea and coffee will be served from 4.30pm with the talk starting at 5.00pm. The event will close at 6.00.
