New Youth-Led National Policing Survey

We are excited to announce the launch of a new youth-led survey, which aims to gather the views of thousands of young people on policing and police complaints.

The survey, which launched on Wednesday 22nd October, has been designed and developed by members of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) Youth Panel.

The survey aims to:

• Understand young people’s lived experiences of policing
• Examine trust in policing and police complaints
• Look into local differences across England and Wales
• Involve young people in developing future solutions

Who can take the survey?

The survey is open to young people aged 13-25 years across England and Wales.

How? 

Young people can take the survey here: https://uk.surveymonkey.com/r/MSWTBF6 

When?

The survey deadline is Friday 19th December 2025.

The survey’s results will be published in the coming year.

Why?

The survey presents an opportunity for young people to have a voice and influence on policing issues that affect their lives and matter to them.

The survey’s results will be used to create national recommendations for change, and will be shared with policing stakeholders, locally and nationally.
