UK-wide mission to tackle teenagers’ ‘trauma’ with police
A spokesperson for the IOPC said research shows that young people have one of “the lowest levels of confidence in the police complaints system”.
“As a result, in 2018 we established our youth panel – where young people develop recommendations and solutions to improve the police complaint system so it better meets their needs,” they added.
The panel has worked on peer engagement, delivering workshops with the police and conducts an annual survey of young people’s views, the spokesperson said.
“The youth panel provides a vital youth voice to the organisation holding both us and the police to account,” they added.
