The Mayor of Newham's Youth Safety Board
Making Newham a great place to grow up is a priority for the Mayor, the Council and its partners.
The Board was set up in March 2019 in order to identify and accelerate actions to improve safety for children and young people who live, work or study in Newham.
It is co-chaired by Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz and Duncan Bew, Clinical Director for Trauma at Kings College Hospital, London. Members include young people, family members and residents, and police, education and health representatives.
The Board published its report and recommendations in December 2019. You can read the report, a short summary and the evidence briefing here.
