This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council on behalf of Slough Children First for the attention of all schools.
There is a new date available for an online information session for parents/carers and family members, relating to knife crime and how we can keep our young people safe.
A reminder that the rolling ‘Stay True to You’ campaign launched in May and is delivered by The Ben Kinsella Trust, leading national anti-knife crime charity.
Each session covers the risk factors that can cause conflict and lead to violence, explores what is driving the “fear factor” that can lead to vulnerable young people carrying weapons for perceived self-protection, and also looks at issues including online harm, exploitation, gangs and county drug lines.
The sessions aim to raise awareness of these issues and to give parents the confidence of signs and symptoms to look out for, tips on how to build stronger relationships and to have those difficult conversations. It explores some of the learning from the wider “Stay True to You” campaign (more info www.staytruetoyou.co.uk/parents)
To register in advance for the session on Wednesday 25 September, 6.30-8.30pm, please see: https://benkinsellatrust.beaconforms.com/form/498546b0
