The new date for this workshop is Monday 7th November. 

Hazard Alley Safety Centre in collaboration with Thames Valley Police are coming in to school on 26th September to speak to Year 6 about knife crime. 

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 learn about the risks of carrying knives and the laws around knife crime.

This session is aimed at Year 5 and 6 and lasts approximately 75 minutes.

The session includes:

• Discussions around why people carry knives.
• Understanding the importance of making the right choices and the choices made will have consequences that can impact themselves and other people.
• Addressing misconceptions around knife related crime.
• Impact of peer pressure when making choices.
• The laws around knife related crime, including carrying, using and being a bystander.
• Where to go for support if young people are worried about themselves or other people.
