With an emphasis on ‘knowledge is power’, discussions were held to include the law surrounding knife crime and peer pressure. Through a variety of age-appropriate practical activities and meaningful discussions, the children work through a scenario-based activity, identifying the choices being made and the consequences of these choices. As the scenario escalates, the children learnt about the risks of carrying knives and the laws around knife crime.
Every child was given an information card about how they can find support with issues that arose in the presentation.
Following the presentation pupils commented:
“A criminal record will be with you forever.”
“People might view you differently if you have a criminal record.”
