The youth Commission consists of 25 members from across the county; the focus of their work is to identify what issues affect young people in their area, engage them and gather their opinions. Plans are made to tackle these issued by raising awareness at events and via campaigns. Members will also make recommendations for change to the Police Crime Commissioner and suggest solutions to their priority issues.
Simon Hayes, Police Crime Commissioner, said: “I set up the Youth Commission because I believe it’s important to take young peoples’ views into account. They are the future and will drive social change. I encourage any young person, including those who have direct experience of the police and justice systems to apply.”
