The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire Police is setting up a youth advisory group for Bedfordshire. The difference between this advisory group and many others out there, is that this group will be Pan Beds. We want people from all across the county have their voices heard. This youth advisory group will be called Beds Youth Council (BYC).
“The aim of the BYC is to encourage local young people to have their say on how we can improve the quality of policing and to improve trust and reassurance within our community. The group will give Bedfordshire Police advice on issues that affect young people, for example, after a serious crime or incident. They will also consult with us on plans and policies that might impact on youth culture, offering a new way in which to make a difference to how young communities are policed.”
Please see attached the Focus Group Influencer advert, the Equal Opportunities Form and the Expression of Interest Form.
