Youth Independent Advisory Group (YIAG)
About the Youth Independent Advisory Group (YIAG)
Lancashire Constabulary are launching their first Youth Advisory Group as we seek the views of residents aged 14-21 from Lancashire.
The group will be an open and safe environment for young persons to provide honest and constructive feedback about policing policies and matters to senior officers within the police.
Primarily, we want to understand the issues you as young people are facing as we work together develop and improve our polices and the policing service we offer to the public.
What you will be doing
As a member of the YIAG, you will provide the Constabulary with your views on our work.
Initially the meetings will be monthly at the Force Headquarters on the outskirts of Preston.
Each meeting, a new subject matter will be discussed where you will be able to provide your thoughts, experiences and advice to improve the policy.
You will do this working with a YIAG Team Leader. Wherever possible, senior managers from the Constabulary who own the policy will be present in order for you to feed your concerns and advice directly to the policy makers.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for people aged 14-21 years inclusive. That is it!
This opportunity is available to all persons within that age range, living or working within Lancashire. It matters not your background, education or employment status. We all have a voice, and we want to hear yours.
