Overview

Youth Connect builds on existing youth voice and engagement activity in the Humber region focused on perceptions of safety and violence in communities.

It avoids duplication, valuing what has already been said, and identifies how we can act on feedback more effectively.

This page features:

  • A directory of organisations and groups currently engaging young people, repository of findings and identification of any gaps
  • A report detailing insights
  • A report of findings from young people in the youth justice system
  • A report with practical recommendations (coming soon)

We will continue to update the resources openly available here. If you have a contribution to youth voice that is not included in this project, please let us know by completing the short form at the bottom of this page.

Google Notebook

Google Notebook provides a simple and powerful way to understand youth voice about crime and safety in the Humber region by bringing together feedback from multiple organisations into one place and making it easy to explore. It allows users to ask straightforward questions and quickly see clear, evidence-based summaries of what young people are saying, such as where they feel unsafe, their experiences of crime, and their ideas for improvement.

By analysing all the uploaded reports, surveys, and engagement findings, the Notebook identifies key themes, highlights common concerns, and links insights back to original sources, ensuring transparency and credibility. This makes it much quicker to turn large amounts of youth feedback into accessible, actionable insights that can inform decision-making and support more effective responses to community safety issues.

Data and safeguarding note:

  • The reports in the Youth Voice Mapping repository do not contain personal or identifiable data
  • They are anonymised, aggregated, and ethically produced
  • AI analysis will produce patterns and interpretations, not facts about individuals

Do not input any personal information about yourself or others into the AI Large Language Model, e.g.: “Bob, a 10-year-old at our Box Gym Limited classes has violent tendencies. How does this compare to young people at other boxing interventions?”.

AI should be used to support thinking, not replace professional judgement or youth engagement.

Using the Google Notebook requires use of a Google Account. Some devices might have restricted access.

If you cannot access or use Google Notebook, a guide on an alternative way of using an AI Large Language Model to analyse our youth voice information is available below. You can also download the individual reports - keep reading to find out more.
