Bigfoot’s Secondary Knife Crime Prevention programmes provides an early intervention approach to understanding key messages around knife crime and keeping safe. The programmes will provide pupils with a creative forum and safe space in which to have open discussions and respectfully listen to and challenge differing viewpoints.
Included will be opportunities for schools to gain an insight into their pupils’ views and concerns in order to identify areas for further work and targeted support.
All programmes support pupils to:
• Understand how to keep themselves and others safe
• Recognise and manage risk
• Manage friendships and peer pressure
• Understand respect and how to have respectful relationships
• Understand the law around and consequences of carrying knives
• Explore why carrying knives can increase rather than decrease danger
• Identify how to recognise when a situation is escalating
• Consider strategies for keeping safe in dangerous situations
• Know what to say and do if someone they know is carrying a knife
• Explore the immediate and far-reaching consequences of knife crime on the victim, the perpetrator, their families and the wider community
• Identify how to access support and who can help them
• Have difficult conversations with their peers and adults
