The Violence Reduction Partnership in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight is asking young people to take part in a survey, so that we can understand how people feel about serious violence and knife crime in Hampshire and how it impacts people’s feelings of safety.
This partnership is made up of many organisations, including police, fire, local authorities, health and justice services, who all work together to reduce knife crime. PCC Donna Jones leads and convenes this partnership as part of her role and delivering her Police and Crime Plan.
This survey is open to everyone. We really want to hear the voices of young people, in particular teenagers and young adults between the ages of 12 to 25 years old. If you are a parent, carer or guardian, we hope that you can encourage your young person to have their voice heard, or maybe assist them to complete this survey.
All replies will assist us to understand better how to help people and communities impacted by knife crime. Thank you for your time completing this survey.
