Relationship with the Police

#weareallpeople

#unitetogether

 

Why have we chosen this our priority?

We are really interested in how the Police interact with young people and vice versa. We want to help rebuild this relationship. We want to tackle the prejudice and stigma around Policing.

 

What will we do?

  • We will raise awareness, promote projects and campaigns through our social media.
  • We will attend various community events to promote our Big Conversation and encourage the Police to attend with us too.
  • We will work closely with and support the Child Centred Policing Strategy (CCP) in Hampshire and the IOW and offer ideas on how they can interact better with young people.
  • Influence the work of the IOPC Youth Panel (Independent Office of Police Conduct)
  • We will deliver workshops in schools to gain their views and hopefully involve the Police in this too
  • We will work in partnership with Hampshire &IOW YIAG (Youth Independent Advisory Group) to scrutinise how the Police deal with young people.
  • We will work with and encourage the Police to be seen in our communities in more positive situations.

 

What you can do?

  • Fill out The Big Conversation https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90526467/Youth-Commission-Big-Conversation-2023
