As part of a series investigating the youth justice system in England and Wales, the Guardian has so far been looking at what it is like reporting from youth court; how children as young as 10 wait more than a year for court cases; and how court closures lead to fights as gang rivals share waiting rooms.
We want to hear from you if you have been through the system or have worked with those who have.
Share your experiences
If you have been through the system as a child we would like to hear from you. How did you feel at the time and how has the experience affected you since? If you work as a lawyer, judge, magistrate, social worker, or in a youth offending team, we would also like to hear about your experiences.
