The roadshow was held during first break on the play ground, an event to raise awareness of issues relating to young people across the UK. Two marked police vehicles were parked on site and our learners from across the year groups were invited to talk to police officers and PCSOs on the day, asking questions and talking about issues relating to young people; particularly gang culture and knife crime.
Our learners asked some great questions and attended the event respectfully and with enthusiasm. They were also given the opportunity to walk through and experience a 'metal detector archway' (similar to those used at airports), learning what an impact these make when trying to cutdown on knife crime and weapons in school. available. This roadshow was a huge successful and helped learners further embed their classroom learning in their recent PSHE lessons in knife crime, police powers and the use of 'stop and search'.
