Young people across the Dyfed-Powys area are being given more time to share their views and help shape the future of local services.

The Young People – Shape Our Services survey, launched by Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn, has now been extended until Sunday, September 28, giving young people the chance to highlight what matters most to them and what they want from local services.

Feedback gathered from the survey, along with responses to an Open Call for Evidence, will feed directly into the Commissioner’s Select Committee. The committee examines how well crime and anti-social behaviour services are working for young people across the area.

Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn said: “I want to make sure every young person has the opportunity to tell us what matters to them. This is their chance to speak up and help shape services that support their safety, wellbeing, and future.”

The Open Call for Evidence invites individuals, organisations, and community groups to share insights about how services can prevent young people from entering the criminal justice system and better support them in their communities.

The commissioner is encouraging schools, youth groups, families and community leaders to help spread the word and ensure young people’s voices are heard.

The Young People-Shape Our Services survey and Open Call for Evidence are part of the Commissioner’s Select Committee work, an accountability forum helps hold Dyfed-Powys Police to account and shape improvements for the future. The Select Committee enquiries will replace the previous Deep Dive reviews. The committees will scrutinise key areas, involve the public, and work with partners to improve policing and the wider criminal justice system.
