Youth Connect: Young People & the Police

What impacts young people?

We want to know what crime you think impacts young people the most and how safe you feel. We are doing this survey because we want you to help us hear young people's voices and for them to shape the services you use. Your answers will be anonymous (we won't know who you are). You can enter into a prize draw to have a chance to win a £100 voucher at the end of the survey.

How will my data be used?

All data will be anonymised (so we won’t know who you are) and will be collected and stored (safely on our computer system) in accordance with the Data Protection Act and GDPR. To view Northamptonshire Police’s Data Privacy Notice, please click here. Quotes will be used within the report produced to help us understand your views better but we are careful to make sure you can't be identified by the quotes we use.

This survey is being conducted through SurveyMonkey, to see SurveyMonkey's privacy notice please click here.
