Effective Preventative Knife Crime Education
Effective Preventative Knife Crime Education – A South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit funded project, by Learn Sheffield.
Learn Sheffield Learning Resources - Key Stage 4
These resources have been written by outstanding practitioners across South Yorkshire. Teachers produced the lessons, and youth workers from highly-regarded youth-focused organisations produced the small group additional sessions.
A Brief Overview of the Resources – Sue Finnigan https://youtu.be/c5ys2t3vZlo
The resources are interactive, discussion-based, and trauma-informed, and reflect the voice of the young people in South Yorkshire we spoke to. To reiterate, these resources are lessons aimed at young people who are not involved in knife crime (the majority) and sessions which are suitable for over-teaching small groups of young people at increased risk (the minority) in a youth-style workshop led by a professional in school who knows them well.
Our Research and Rationale – Sue Finnigan https://youtu.be/DiBs9YHBI4M
We consulted safeguarding leads about establishing ground rules and information for teachers and session leaders using these resources. Our ‘Introduction and Guidance’ document is compulsory reading prior to the teaching of any of the lessons or sessions.
We have created a series of short films introducing each session and guidance for teachers. This is to increase professionals’ confidence in delivering the lessons and sessions, and to minimise preparation time. There is also an appendix document showing how the lessons cover objectives in the PSHE Association Programme of Study.
