A LAWN Manor pupil has been selected to join the Wiltshire and Swindon Youth Commission on Police and Crime 2021 and to represent young people on matters related to policing.
After her teacher circulated the opportunity, Jessica Whyte applied to join the Youth Commission due to her interest in pursuing a career in the police force in the future. She was shortlisted and interviewed, subsequently achieving one of only 25 places available for young people aged 14-25 in Swindon and Wiltshire.
Jessica has already attended her first meeting with the Youth Commission, where aspects of gang culture and drugs were the focus. She will now attend meetings every six weeks until January 2022.
