While recognising and supporting the move by the UK Youth Parliament to develop a specialised accreditation scheme to recognise the outstanding efforts of its members (YPN, 4-10 October, p6), we would like to highlight the fact that we have developed our own specialised accreditation and have been successfully running it for well over a year now.
