Surrey Youth Commission

We’ve established a Surrey Youth Commission on Policing and Crime in partnership with charity Leader’s Unlocked. Made up of young people aged between 14-25yrs old, it plays a lead role in ensuring our office and Surrey Police include the priorities of children and young people in policing.

It is overseen by our Deputy Commissioner Ellie Vesey-Thompson, as part of her focus on enhancing the opportunities and support for young people in Surrey.

What the Commission does

The Youth Commission hold meetings and consult widely with children and young people across Surrey. In 2023, they presented their findings to staff and stakeholders during the first ‘BIG Conversation Conference‘.

We’re now looking for new members to continue the work of the Commission on existing and new priorities in 2023/24.

You will

• Gather the views of other young people through peer research with other young people in schools, colleges, universities, and youth groups;
  
• Take part in Youth Commission sessions with the Deputy Commissioner, members of Leader’s Unlocked and our Office;

• Work on special topics such as relations with the police, reducing youth offending or substance misuse;

• Plan events including interactive workshops to engage other young people and partner agencies in Surrey;

• Report back to the office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and present the feedback they received to inform the future work of Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and Surrey Police.
