Young people from across Gwent have the chance to take part in an online ‘question – time style’ event hosted by the Office of Police Crime Commissioner for Gwent and Gwent Regional Youth Forum on Thursday 10 March 4.30pm – 6.30pm.

The event is an opportunity to pose a question to panel of professionals who specialise in a wide range of issues that young people have told my team are important to them. 

Following the results of the ‘What Matters to You Survey’ that was completed by young people from across the county a range of issues have been identified as important

  • Policing
  • mental health
  • tackling discrimination and hate crime
  • safe and healthy relationships

Young people from youth forums, organisations, schools, youth organisations and youth work professionals across Gwent are welcome come along.

Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent, Jeff Cuthbert said: “The voices of young people are extremely important to me.

“Events such as Youth Question Time offer a unique platform for professionals, policy makers and members of the community to really understand what is important to young people.

 “Only by working in partnership with young people will we really understand what needs to be done to make a difference for young people now and in the future.”
