Newham Civil Society Youth Commission publish report

Representatives from schools, universities and community groups across Newham came together to set up a Civil Society Youth Commission in response to the rise in youth violence in the Borough to investigate holistic solutions to the multi-faceted causes of youth violence.

Read the report to learn how Newham Citizens applied the method of community organising to identify solutions 'from the bottom up' that place communities at the heart of the response. The report also puts forward recommendations to Newham Council, Newham Police and the local NHS Clinical Commissioning Group on issues ranging from street safety to education and the relationship between police and young people.
