Youth Crime Conference

The Community and Police Partnership has organised a Youth Crime Conference every year since 1994, making the 2012 Conference(pdf, 1246KB) the 18th such event.

It will be held at the Harlequins Twickenham Stoop on Wednesday 29 February 2012.

Each secondary school in the borough can send a group of Year 9 students, aged 13-14 years old. Over 130 students attended the 2011 event. They experienced a mixture of drama scenarios, workshops and presentations about current community safety issues.
