UnLtd, the media, marketing and creative industry’s social purpose organisation, has unveiled a campaign with Raise the Age NSW to call on the government to raise the age of criminal responsibility, via Carat and Tag.

Aiming to educate the public that the current age of criminal responsibility – ten years old – is too young, the new campaign asks the NSW Government to “give children a happier tenth birthday”.

The campaign aims to support Raise the Age NSW – a coalition of more than 130 First Nations, legal, human rights and civil society organisations and community services, charities, peak bodies, and unions.
