Children in trouble campaign film - Hunting
Our online film ‘Hunting’ launched our campaign, with the intention of creating the debate around the issue of the demonisation of children and young people in society today.
Our research showed that a concerning issue present in today’s society is the increasingly negative way in which young people are viewed by the general public. Despite the fact that most young people do not engage in anti-social behaviour, a growth in anxiety over the presence of youths in our communities has led to a significant level of social exclusion towards them.
The film was very successful in raising this debate in many different arenas. We received extensive media coverage, from BBC breakfast news through to Newsnight. Many of you contacted us to offer your support and many more of you also pledged your support to stop the demonisation of children through our online campaign.
