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:
MHK seeking horse tram answers from government ministers
Public urged to open 'home and heart' to children in need
The Efficiency Trap: Why AI isn't saving us time
World-first Manx language opera in development
Planning application for onshore wind farm still being developed
