Young people on the island would benefit from having a dedicated children's commissioner.
That is the view of Garff MHK and former Children's champion - Daphne Caine.
Mrs Caine - who was the Island's Childrens champion from 2016 to 2018 put forward the idea for debate in Tynwand earlier this month.
She received support from members such as current children’s champion Rob Callister, Peel & Glenfaba’s Kate-Lord Brennan, and MLC Kerry Sharpe.
The role already exists in the likes of the UK, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Jersey and Guernsey.
The Garff MHK says the role would cover a wide range of issues - including special needs, healthcare, obesity and mental health.
Mrs Caine explained why she thinks it's a good idea:
Ramsey Remembrance service to be marked by maroon rockets
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
How will Manx Care reduce the number of negligence claims?
Manx Language Festival to be held next week
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
