Welcome to HeadsUp
What's HeadsUp all about?
HeadsUp is a place where young people can debate political issues and current affairs. But it's not just about talking, it's about getting something done.
The debates involve the UK's top decision-makers from parliament and government who want to understand the views and experiences of young Britain.
Every debate is supported by background information, quizzes, online polls and can be used inside or outside of school.
The site is looked after by the independent Hansard Society with sponsorship for the 2007 - 08 academic year from the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and the House of Commons.
