Description
This Waltham Forest Community Safety project tackles the negative interactions between young people, particularly from Black and Asian communities, and the police in Waltham Forest. A 2020 consultation revealed that these groups disproportionately experience negative stop-and-search encounters, leading to a breakdown in trust with law enforcement. The project, built on recommendations from the Young People's Independent Advisory Group (YIAG), seeks to address racial disparities, raise awareness of young people's rights, and improve police-community relations through advocacy, training, and support.
