Milestones
More than 60,000 knife-related offences a year:
This alarming statistic*, and daily news of teenage knife-related incidents motivated the LTA team to research the subject in depth.
We immediately realised that developing young people's skills in conflict resolution is essential. Not only will this help them to avoid/resolve incidents that may confront them. It will also contribute to fewer young people feeling they need to carry weapons.
The outcome of this study is our latest interactive learning workshop "ON THE EDGE". Following its public launch at The Emmbrook School, Wokingham on June 29th 2007, it is available for booking (initially for Years 9, 10 and 11) by secondary schools, PRUs and YOIs.
