Project Assistant: Release are seeking a project assistant to support our brilliant Y-Stop project.
Y-Stop is a stop and search project created by young people for young people. Through tools, advice and training Y-Stop provides the skills and knowledge that young people need to confidently yet safely handle their interactions with police and limit the negative impact of these encounters. Since it launched in 2014 Y-Stop has produced a number of resources to support and educate young people about stop and search including a short film, an app to film and complain about stop and search, a website, printed resources and a successful peer training programme. The project works collaboratively and closely with StopWatch a coalition of academics, lawyers, young people and activists campaigning for stop and search reform.
