Knife Angel |Slough | Exploitation Training January 23

This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Education Safeguarding Professional, Jatinder Matharu, for the attention of All Primary and Secondary Headteachers and DSLs. 

 

This course is being run in January 2023 to mark the presence of the Knife Angel in Slough.

The sculpture, made from over 100,000 seized blades, was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful memorial designed to celebrate those lives who have been lost through these violent and thoughtless actions.

There are 14 places to help professionals

  • developing a multi-agency support plan and providing challenge

The training will be taking place on 19 January 2023, this is a two-hour course and runs online from 10:00 - 12:00
