Knife Crime Workshops

Targeted sessions raising awareness of the consequences of knife crime and steering young people toward safer choices.

About this programme

Our Knife Crime Workshops bring together lived-experience speakers, frontline officers and youth workers to talk openly with young people about the realities of carrying a weapon.

Sessions combine honest storytelling, group discussion and role-play scenarios so participants leave with both the knowledge and the confidence to make safer choices in pressured moments.

We deliver workshops at the Plaza and in partner schools and community settings across Birmingham. All facilitators are trained safeguarding leads.
