As part of his work with the Youth Employment All Party Group, on the 17th of June Michael hosted a drop-in session for MPs to sign the Youth Friendly MP Charter.

Signing the Charter pledges support to five key principles of youth employment in Mid Dorset & North Poole:
Youth Voice, Developing Young People, Creating Opportunities, Recognising Young Talent, Fair Employment,
Michael said "as a Youth Friendly MP, and chair of the Youth Employment all party group, I will be leading the charge for creating Youth Friendly Communities; communities where every stakeholder (young people, government, educator, employer, parent, and youth group) is working together to create a place where all young people can fulfil their potential."
