Lives Matter / Knife Crime FULL PROJECT

This Lives Matter programme is designed for use with children and young people who are at risk of/have been caught carrying or using a knife.

It can be used by staff in Youth Offending Teams (Youth Justice Serivce) for young people on court orders or prevention programmes, and by youth workers, Early Help and other social care officers, teachers and school staff and staff in secure settings.

This programme is designed as a series of sessions with varying themes relating to knife crime and surrounding issues. You can select those which apply to the needs and circumstances of individual young people.

All of the sessions can be adapted for use in one to one or group settings, as applicable. There is a Young Person’s Work Booklet that fits alongside the PowerPoint and this session overview

On successful completion of this programme, young people will have met the following overall learning objectives:
• To develop an understanding of offensive weapons
• To develop an understanding of relevant legislation relating to offensive weapons and bladed articles
• To discuss and explain reasons why people choose to carry knives and offensive weapons
• To define different types of violent offences
• To understand different sentences relating to violent offences
• To identify the direct and indirect victims relating to (knife) crime
• To demonstrate an understanding of the ABC model, and consequential thinking
• To develop knowledge of real-life case studies relating to knife crime
• To identify areas in personal life that are positive, and areas that require improvement

Would work well for PSHCE lessons as well.
