Young people

Our recommendations for young people:

Work with young people and town centre partners to create safe spaces to spend time in at night

Better monitoring and communication with Police and partners of disputes in schools to stop escalation of incidents into the night 

Police to continue to build trust with young people by attending schools, youth clubs and community centres to provide clarity around stop-and-search and gain a better understanding around why young people carry knives 

Youth workers to accompany police at night for shared learning 

Encourage young people to attend activities in the evenings and visit new places through buddy schemes, cycle training, travel training or youth club buses 

Provide tools for young people on ways to help them stay safe at night such as education on their rights surrounding stop-and-search as well as bystander training witnesses
