Knife Crime
Life Skills Primary
Facts and information about knives and knife crime enable young people to make positive choices about risky behaviour, increase knowledge and awareness of the law around knives and facts around knife crime.
At Life Skills Education, our knife awareness module is part of our overall programme addressing various risky behaviors, including drug and alcohol abuse, respect, and prejudice. We don’t scare young people. Instead, we provide facts and information about knives and knife crime, helping them make positive choices and understand the law.
We use local information to reassure students about the level of risk in their community. Our resources allow students to explore the risks and consequences of their behavior. They learn to make safe and healthy choices using our unique SKILL DECISION-MAKING MODEL. We encourage young people to respect themselves and others. They learn it’s okay to choose not to follow others making poor decisions and to use our resistance strategies to stay safe and healthy.
Legislation is in place regarding the sales of and carrying of knives. Penalties for knife related offences are severe.
