What the Youth Commission means to me
I joined the Youth Commission to connect with like-minded people and to make an impact on my local community. I’m proud of the workshops I have helped run and the professionals I have worked with to create positive change.

I think the best thing I did was take part in the conference.
It’s a space where I am able to connect with people to express my views on issues impacting young people.

I wanted to be involved in decisions impacting young people like me.
Some members wanted to share the value of being part of the Youth Commission and how being a member means being a part of real change:
Working with the Youth Commission helps keep the police accountable and improves the service both young people and the wider public receive across the county. Throughout the year, I have met a range of individuals from various organisations involved in policing, which has provided valuable insight into how the police service works.” Matthew
As part of the Youth Commission, I have been supported to challenge myself and do things I didn’t think I was capable of. I’ve met amazing people and had the chance to dive into topics I really care about. Most of all, I feel like we’re all making a difference.
