'Introducing the HCD Student Partnership'

Ros Frost

This first edition is prompted by the ground breaking work of the HCD Student Partnership in the areas of student voice, student research and student leadership. HCD (Highest Common Denominator) is a charitable organisation based in London which sponsors initiatives under the direction of Richard Timberlake. These come together in national conferences and regional workshops run with and by primary and secondary school students. In this publication Ros Frost illustrates some of the fruits of those initiatives and extends an invitation to those who would like to join her and us in taking forward the creation of a lively national and international network of people keen to make a difference to children's lives and to government policies which constrain or liberate.
