This survey is a part of a youth-led project to influence policing across England and Wales. It has been designed by young people from the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) Youth Panel.
 
We created this survey because your views as a young person are important to us. Your opinions will be used to create recommendations for change, and we will publish the results of the survey later in 2022.
 
The survey is completely anonymous and we won’t ask for your name, contact information or any information that will reveal your identity. It is managed by Leaders Unlocked.
 
The survey will take approximately 6-8 minutes to complete, depending on how much you have to say.
