“They’ve told me some really interesting things …. The number one [issue] was a feeling of safety within their own neighbourhood … there’s obviously a strong sense of feeling around stop and search, that’s what I expected ... there’s clearly parts of the borough in which we need to improve that delivery “, says Supt. Stringer
bridging the gap
The seminar is the culmination of the work of the first Members of the UK Youth Parliament, Jemma Hastain and Stephen Babalola. It's the final act as they hand over the baton to their recently elected replacements.
“This is the biggest thing we’ve done so far in terms of having people come to us, … we wanted to bridge this gap as people think they can’t speak to them [the authorities] .. it gives the youth an idea that these people are interested in what they want to say,” explains Jemma
Although this is the first event of its kind, the students – who were drawn from many schools in the borough including those from the pupil referral units – all felt this was a great chance to get their views across in an environment which was conducive to free and frank discussions.
“It’s been really good I just wish we had more time to speak to all the different people … we’ve set our views across - hopefully they will do something about it”.
“It’s been really acknowledgeable, I’ve learnt a lot.”
“I feel today has been very beneficial as I feel it’s been able to establish the links between the youths and the police that have been broken down over the years in a controlled environment.”
