Worth A Second Chance

Worth A Second Chance

Almost everywhere in Australia, children as young as 10 can be arrested, charged, and imprisoned. Email your MP asking them to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility to keep young children out of prisons and in schools, playgrounds and communities – where they can be held to account for their actions and supported to reset their lives.
