Out of Trouble is using new ways to connect with supporters to help us achieve our goal of fewer children and young people in prison.

Programme director Penelope Gibbs will be posting regular blog updates with day-to-day news stories as well as the latest on progress towards our overall goal, and, as the campaign progresses, we hope to feature blogs from others working at the front-line of the youth justice system. We’ll also be linking to external blogs that we like so if you know of a must-read blog which shows a different side to life in the youth justice world do get in touch.

Out of Trouble is also active on key social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, but we need your help to raise our profile and spread the message that too many children are being imprisoned unnecessarily - please use your online networks of friends and family to help us reach out to as many new supporters as possible. The more people who sign up to and support our campaign online the easier it will be to demonstrate to government and policymakers that the time for change is now.

We also have an Out of Trouble news feed on Delicious - every day we tag the best and most interesting youth justice-related news stories on the page, making it your one-stop shop for everything to do with our campaign and child and youth imprisonment.

Alternatively, get in touch with Out of Trouble staff directly if you have any questions about the campaign, the information on this site, or would simply like to express your support for what we are doing. See our contact us page for up-to-date contact details.
