Workshop/Assembly Summary:
Knife crime has increased by 81% over the past decade, according to police data.
Teenagers and young people are now twice as likely to become victims of knife-related incidents compared to ten years ago.
So how can we take action to prevent knife crime and protect young people?
At OpenView Education, we deliver Knife Crime Awareness Workshops that offer a proactive, early intervention approach for schools.
Created specifically for Upper Key Stage 2 and Year 7, these workshops provide a safe, age-appropriate space for pupils to explore the topic of knife crime through engaging storytelling, discussion, and interactive learning.

Testimonials:
“I want to pass on my huge gratitude for the amazing workshops delivered over three days at Putney high school. The response was amazing.”
”Your patience, delivery and professionalism shone through and there’s been so much positive feedback. You started a very important conversation in the school.”
- Putney High School, London
”Our facilitator was absolutely amazing! Extremely interactive and engaging with the pupils. The session was very ‘active’ with short bursts of activities going on throughout, as well as crucial information being shared with the students. So, it was not boring and the pupils were not talked at for the whole hour!”
”Our facilitator was also very confident, and her behaviour management was exceptional. She retained the pupil’s attention at all times and overall, it was an extremely successful session. I hope to work with your company again in the near future.”
