Youth Advisory Group
We are working with our Youth Advisory Group (YAG), who are all young people age 14-17 who have been in contact with the justice system. This might range from people who have been stopped and searched by the police, to those who have been to a children’s hearing panel, or been to court.
The YAG will work closely with our project team to help us co-produce a project about justice inequalities.
We will work with the YAG to help us understand what kinds of things affect children’s experiences of, and participation in, the justice system. We also want to find out what things might help different groups of children to be treated more fairly and equally by the justice system. Together we will design a research project on this topic for other children and young people to explore their views and experiences of justice inequalities.
Being part of the YAG is a big commitment as we will meet in Glasgow once or twice a month over 18 months. The YAG will receive compensation for their time
