"There was loads of grown men egging the kids on to chuck stuff at the police."

Should a child caught up in the 2024 riots have their entire future defined by that moment?

Children's Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza reminds us how a broken system shapes young lives. @longfordtrust.bsky.social

A criminal record, even for a minor offence, can hold you back from work opportunities for a long, long time.

We need a more proportionate system - for people with records, for their families, for our society and economy.

A criminal record can be a lifelong barrier to employment, volunteering, housing and more. Is the system really proportionate?
