Our Young Inspectors are a group of young people who live, study or are supported by the London Borough of Merton. They are aged between 17 and 24 years old and support the local authority by inspecting the services we offer young people and highlighting the voice of young residents.

Young Inspectors are part of the Participation and Engagement team. It is a paid role where you must complete an application form and be successful in your interview; you will then receive training and support to ensure you are able to complete your duties.

Our current Young Inspectors work across many areas of work, such as Merton’s Children’s Trust Board, Virtual School, Corporate Parenting and our Public Health team.
