The Government has launched a new scheme called JoinIn, which is aimed at getting young people to tell politicians their ideas. We caught up with Minister for Youth Citizenship and Engagement, Dawn Butler, to find out more about what the government is doing for young people. In this interview, Catch21’s Tom Johnson asks Dawn about the new government scheme, using technology to engage young people, and her views on the Votes at 16 campaign.
