A NEW website has been launched for young people in Redcar and Cleveland.

Tuned In! has been adopted by the Borough's Children and Young Peoples Trust as a way of communicating their message.

It includes an online magazine, published twice a year and written by young people for young people in the area.

There will be two online guides, "You Matter" has advice and information on a wide range of issues affecting young people and an activities directory, "Places to go, Things to do" activities directory.

Councillor Ian Jeffrey, the council's cabinet member for children's services and education, said: "We're promoting Tuned In! through secondary schools and colleges and hope everybody who has dealings with young people will support us in letting young people know about it."
