The Standing Committee for Youth Justice, a national alliance of over 60 charities and youth organisations, has published a briefing calling for a review of the childhood criminal records system, to achieve a fair and distinct system which allows young people to leave their past mistakes behind them. The briefing highlights concerns about the burden that criminal records bring to the livelihoods of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) young people and how these multiple discriminations create barriers that impact access to education, employment, housing, and healthcare.
