The Youth Independent Advisory Group was launched to give young people a stronger voice in helping to shape policing decisions locally
Passionate young people have provided suggestions to Nottinghamshire Police on how they can improve policing to build trust and faith in the police force. With social media one suggestion on how the police can better communicate with young people, the workshops have been described as "insightful".
Representatives from Nottinghamshire Police have also attended the meeting to listen to the voices of young people, taking away with them all that they’ve said. Young people have already given insights on how the force can use social media – particularly Instagram - to better engage and communicate with them.
They said: ‘‘My experience has been really interesting and insightful. I feel like through the meetings I have been able to gain more knowledge surrounding the police and have had opportunities to work with other young people to figure out how to share that knowledge with Nottinghamshire youths.’’ “The importance of this kind of work is made really clear when you consider how police forces nationwide have been shocked and saddened by the outcome of Baroness Casey’s recent review into the Metropolitan Police, which found institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia in the London force.
