Luton Youth Council

Luton Youth Council are hosting a panel at this years Luton 2040 Conference. If you see yourself as a young person and want to ask key businesses what they are doing to support you - submit your question via the QR code or survey link https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/t/Q0JV0P/

Today some of the youth councillors took part in a "Listening Circle" with members of the Education and Team of Bedfordshire Police to start the conversation around Young People’s perceptions of the Police, including whether they are trusted and how we can repair lack of trust. This starts more regular conversations to raise awareness, but also challenge the Police about their work in Luton. Do you trust the Police?

Voting has taken place for the next Chair, Vice-Chair and Members of Youth Parliament for Luton! 🗳 More to be announced soon..... 🤗

Today, Amish and Eshal went to the very first Luton Women's Conference to be part of the Youth Panel. They got to hear about different initiatives supporting women in Luton as well as sharing their views on how Luton can be safer for women and girls as we work towards the Luton 2040 vision!

With a number of schools already holding elections, there are a set of reserved seats for Independent candidates to ensure all eligible Young people have the ability to apply!

Alishbah and Manha from the Luton Youth Council had presented with Isabella and Jessica from the Central Bedfordshire Youth Voice at the Voice of the Child Conference!

The conference was about safety, and they discussed with other schools what safety looks like and why it is important. The rest of the day continued thinking about categories such as social media and how it can link to safety.

A big thanks to , , and for their amazing stalls!
