The young advisors are a group of 11-18 year olds who listen to children and young peoples views, specifically around the topic of safeguarding. Their aim is to work together using their skills and experience about life as young people to work with staff and decision makers involved in the North Tyneside Safeguarding Children Partnership.

As a result the group chose raise awareness on knife crime buy distributing posters around schools in the borough.
