Youth Commission On Police & Crime Visit

At the first HYPER meeting of the new year we were joined by young people from the Youth Commission On Police & Crime for Sussex. It has been a year long trial project to find out young peoples opinions on six main issues. These issues included Abuse, Bullying and Cyber-Bullying, Drug and Alcohol Crime, Reducing Offending and Re-Offending among Young People, The Relationship with Police and Stereotyping and Supporting Young Victims and Witnesses.

Over the hour long meeting we touched on each of these issues and talked about how they effect our local area and also our ideas on how to address the issues.

The Youth Commission are trying to collect 2,000 young peoples opinion on the issues. You can also contribute your opinions by filling out this survey. They will evaluate the information given and try and make a difference for young people.

Their year long project will be coming to an end on the sixteenth of September with a conference in Brighton. It is important for young people to contribute to this so that in the future we can target these issues better.
