County Lines

County Lines is where illegal drugs are transported from one area to another, often across police and local authority boundaries (although not exclusively), usually by children or vulnerable people who are coerced into it by gangs. The ‘County Line’ is the mobile phone line used to take the orders of drugs. Importing areas (areas where the drugs are taken to) are reporting increased levels of violence and weapons-related crimes as a result of this trend.

Exploitation of young and vulnerable people.

A common feature in county lines drug supply is the exploitation of young and vulnerable people. The dealers will frequently target children and adults - often with mental health or addiction problems - to act as drug runners or move cash so they can stay under the radar of law enforcement.
In some cases the dealers will take over a local property, normally belonging to a vulnerable person, and use it to operate their criminal activity from. This is known as cuckooing.
People exploited in this way will quite often be exposed to physical, mental and sexual abuse, and in some instances will be trafficked to areas a long way from home as part of the network's drug dealing business.
As we have seen in child sexual exploitation, children often don't see themselves as victims or realise they have been groomed to get involved in criminality. So it's important that we all play our part to understand county lines and speak out if we have concerns.

How do you know if County Lines drug dealing is happening in your area?

Some signs to look out for include:
An increase in visitors and cars to a house or flat
New faces appearing at the house or flat
New and regularly changing residents (e.g different accents compared to local accent
Change in resident's mood and/or demeanour (e.g. secretive/ withdrawn/ aggressive/ emotional)
Substance misuse and/or drug paraphernalia
Changes in the way young people you might know dress
Unexplained, sometimes unaffordable new things (e.g clothes, jewellery, cars etc)
Residents or young people you know going missing, maybe for long periods of time
Young people seen in different cars/taxis driven by unknown adults
Young people seeming unfamiliar with your community or where they are
Truancy, exclusion, disengagement from school
An increase in anti-social behaviour in the community
Unexplained injuries

What to do if you have concerns.

The best advice is to trust your instincts. Even if someone isn't involved in county lines drug dealing, they may be being exploited in some other way, so it's always worth speaking out.
You can speak to your local police by dialling 101, or in an emergency 999.
If you would rather remain anonymous, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
If you notice something linked to the railways, you can report concerns to the British Transport Police by texting 61016 from your mobile. In an emergency dial 999.
If you are a young person who is worried about your involvement, or a friend's involvement in county lines.
A good option is to speak to an adult you trust and talk to them about your concerns.
You can also call Childline on 0800 1111. Childline is private and confidential service where you can talk to specially trained counsellors about anything that is worrying you.
Alternatively, speak to a children and young people's service like Catch 22. They work with children and young people of any age to help get them out of situations they're worried about, and have helped lots of children and young people involved in County Lines.
Working in partnership with other agencies, St Giles offers specialist services to help young people make a safe and sustained exit from county line involvement. Caseworkers offer both practical and emotional support to the young person and their family to help address any issue which might be driving county line involvement.

Bill Gates just predicted your job’s future fate

In the year 2025, Bill Gates made a bold prediction that shook the workforce.

As artificial intelligence sweeps across every industry from banking to customer service and even the arts, Gates revealed the only three jobs he believes will remain truly human. Not because AI can’t do them — but because we won’t want it to.

1. Teaching.
Gates believes great teachers are irreplaceable. AI can deliver lessons, sure. But the human connection — the way a teacher understands a child’s fears, sparks curiosity, or comforts them after failure — is something no algorithm can replicate. Emotional guidance and human mentorship will remain the soul of education.

2. Healthcare.
While AI will revolutionize diagnostics and surgical precision, Gates insists that people will still want human doctors and nurses. Empathy, trust, and bedside care can’t be downloaded. The most powerful medicine, after all, is compassion — and no machine has ever mastered that.

3. Construction and Repair.
Despite tech breakthroughs, Gates believes trades like plumbing, electrical work, and building will thrive. Homes, roads, and cities still need hands-on, physical problem-solving — especially when conditions are unpredictable. These roles require adaptability, creative fixes, and working in environments where AI may falter.

Gates’ point is simple. In a world of rising machines, humanity will become our greatest asset.

These jobs survive not because they resist automation — but because they depend on emotional intelligence, trust, and touch. That’s what makes us human.

As millions worry about their place in an AI-driven future, Gates’ list offers clarity and hope. It’s not about fighting AI — it’s about leaning into the roles where we are most irreplaceable.

Because in the end, the smartest machines still can’t care, connect, or build trust the way people can.
