We’ve established a Surrey Youth Commission on Policing and Crime in partnership with charity Leaders Unlocked. Made up of young people aged between 14 and 25, it plays a lead role in ensuring our office and Surrey Police include the priorities of children and young people in policing.
Applications invited
The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner is proud to announce another year of funding for the Surrey Youth Commission.
Applications are now open.
To apply, fill out the forms below and email them to Gabrielle@leaders-unlocked.org by November 22.
The Youth Commission hold meetings and consult widely with children and young people across Surrey. Following a year of research, the Commission present their findings to key stakeholders at the BIG Conversation Conference.
They also produce a report containing their recommendations for Surrey Police, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, and other agencies.
Read the report
The first report produced by the Youth Commission provides feedback on the following priorities for policing:
Substance misuse & exploitation
Violence against women and girls
Cybercrime
Mental health
Relationships with the police
The report specifically contains a series of recommendations for our Office, Surrey Police and the Commission to improve safety, support and relationships with young people in Surrey.
This fantastic scheme ensures we hear opinions from young people across a range of backgrounds, so we understand what they feel are the most important issues for the Force to tackle.
The Youth Commission helps more young people to speak openly on the issues they face and directly inform future crime prevention in Surrey.
