The Liberal Democrat Party are unique in that members take the lead in creating party policy on the local, regional, state and national scale. As one of the largest Affiliated Organisations (AO) in the party, the Young Liberals have strong influence across the party in passing policy, and pass our own policies at biannual Young Liberals Conferences. Find more information on policy in the Young Liberals on this page 

At our biannual Conferences, Young Liberals from across the country join one-another in person and online, to hear from keynote guests (including elected politicians), socialise with other Liberal Democrats and form our Young Liberals Policy.
