Leaders Unlocked are currently recruiting young people aged 14–25 to join the Gwent Youth Independent Advisory Group (YIAG), an exciting partnership with Gwent Police.
The Gwent YIAG enables young people to support, challenge and inform the work of Gwent Police. Members will explore urgent issues affecting young people in Gwent, including:
- Knife crime
- County lines
- Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)
- Night-time safety
- Domestic abuse
- Stop & Search
- Relationships between young people and the police
- Other key issues raised by young people in their communities
They are looking for a diverse group of young people from different backgrounds and life experiences, including those with direct experience of the criminal justice system and those who have been in care.
This is an exciting chance for young people to develop skills, knowledge, and experience. As members of the Gwent YIAG, they will help lead peer-led discussions with the police and contribute their perspectives, ideas, and solutions on policing, crime, and prevention.
