Tayside Police and Dundee City Council reach out to teen boys in major local project

Dundee City Council, NHS Tayside and Police Scotland are teaming up to work with teen boys in the city.

They want to find out how it feels to be a young male today and in particular 'the good, the bad and the things that need to change' in the city.

Once they’ve identified a group, the teams will work with interested participants to help them take some action.

A spokesman for Police Scotland told Dundee Live: “This opportunity is open to 16-18 year old self-identifying young men who live in the Dundee City Council area.

“It is important to us that this campaign represents boys and young men who live in Dundee. “Applicants don't need to have any previous experience of campaigning of group work and we're keen to include and hear a variety of voices.

“This is an opportunity for participants to have their say and make a difference.”

Anyone who applies will be contacted by one of the workers involved to talk about next steps. This will be an informal chat and a good chance to ask questions.

School pupils will also need a consent form signed by a parent/carer.

Application forms should be returned no later than 28th March 2022

- If you want to get involved email sarah.anderson@dundeecity.gov.uk if you’re still at school and linzi.mckerrecher@nhs.scot if you have left.
