Right Track, Bristol

This Children's Society project works to combat the over-representation of young black people in the criminal justice system.

It grew from a group originally set up to deal with young people's complaints about the over use of Stop and Search. It works with children at every stage - from school exclusions through to young people in prison.

The group helps young people to identify the issues that are contributing towards their behaviour such as drugs, problems at school, bullying and racism.

Through one on one mentoring, group and activity based work - workers challenge unacceptable behaviour as well as supporting young people with their problems and helping them combat racism.

The group also works with parents to empower them when dealing with schools and with the education system to foster a greater understanding of issues facing Black and Minority Ethnic children.
