Young Voices Conversation is joint initiative we deliver with South Wales Police, where young people between the age of 11 – 25 years are encouraged to share their honest feedback with us about the issues impacting them and their peers where they live, work or study. As part of our events, young people also get the opportunity to ‘get behind the scenes’ of different police departments, which have included meeting the Police dogs and horses, received demonstrations from officers in charge of facial recognition, firearms, investigations and roads policing. Following our Young Voices Forum, young people are invited to attend a ‘feedback session’ to hear updates from the Police & Crime Commissioner, Chief Officers and relevant leads within the organisation on how the issues raised have been considered and progressed.
Through establishing this forum, we want to encourage and empower young people to:
- Have their voice heard and express their views
- Share their ideas and suggestions with us
- Speak directly with the Police and Crime Commissioner, the police and other organisations.
- Share their personal knowledge, awareness and experience of community issues.
- Work with us in developing creative and positive solutions for young people.
