Knife Crime Awareness Training for Practitioners

The Northumbria Violence Reduction Unit offers Knife Crime Awareness training for practitioners.

The purpose of the training is to give professionals a better understanding of this topic including the law around knives and offensive weapons, factors that increase a person's vulnerability to becoming both a perpetrator and a victim, and awareness of some local and national initiatives to tackle knife crime.

This training is suitable for anyone working with young people and also those working in other settings where this could potentially be an issue.

By attending this training, practitioners will be more confident in their knowledge and understanding of the issue and therefore more able to support those they are working with. This will also support early identification and intervention leading to a reduction in involvement in violent crime.

This is a two hour seminar and a workbook will be provided to ensure that practitioners have an understanding of issues relating to knife crime.
