    Situation

    The appalling impact of knife violence on our communities is becoming all too apparent and Nottingham is no exception. In 2018, the number of fatal stabbings in England and Wales was the highest since records began. In Nottinghamshire most knife crime offenders were under 25 (69% County, 63% City) reflecting a national increase in the numbers of young people getting involved in knife crime. Choices and Consequences aims to reduce this statistic by stopping young people deciding to carry a knife.

    Solution

    Choices and Consequences is an early prevention programme, targeted at 9-14 year olds. Through 5 workshops, children learn about making good and bad decisions and the consequences of carrying a knife from the view of both the victim and the perpetrator. They learn about the law applied to knife crime, including joint enterprise and pledge never to carry a knife. Workshops have already been delivered to 13000 children in Islington. We now have the opportunity to deliver across the East Midlands.
