Rob Callister MHK takes up role
Vulnerable young people on the Island now have a new Children's Champion.
Rob Callister MHK will take up the position, which was designed to give children in need a voice.
He takes over from Tim Baker, who's moved into the infrastructure ministerial position.
The role is focused on representing the interests of children in care, young carers, and children with complex needs, when decisions that will affect them are made.
Mr Callister says his own personal trial and tribulations as a youngster should be invaluable to the position:
Island falls silent to remember them
Average wait of 11 weeks for Disability Living Allowance claims
Man sexually assaulted woman as she slept on beach
Appeal for Onchan FC memorabilia
