'We want to talk to you about knife crime so you can support your children and help them make safe choices.' Asma Maya Joseph-Hussain, CEO of the Safety Centre. This week is #knifecrimeawarenessweek and we're talking about the importance of speaking with young people about #knifecrime. We invite all parents and carers to join us for our free upcoming knife crime virtual sessions for adults looking to support their children on this topic. We know that knife crime is on the rise and that tragically often young people are victims or perpetrators of #knifecrime. 78 young people under the age of 25 were murdered last year by a knife or weapon. 82% of homicides with teenage victims included a knife or bladed weapon, according to the latest stats from the Office for National Statistics. Here at the Safety Centre we are working to be part of the solution, and encourage all parents and carers to attend our Zoom workshops to help you begin conversations about this essential topic with your children.

The story of Ashish Nahar's tragic loss serves as a heartbreaking reminder of the devastating impact of knife crime. His family's courage to speak out as part of Bedfordshire’s "Just Drop It" campaign is inspiring and essential. Their call to end knife violence resonates deeply, as each act of violence leaves lasting scars not only on families but entire communities. Campaigns like "Just Drop It" highlight the human cost behind the statistics, encouraging young people to reconsider choices that lead to such senseless tragedies. Reducing knife crime requires collective action from families, communities, and law enforcement. By supporting initiatives that create safe spaces, offer mentorship, and discourage weapon carrying, we can work towards safer communities and prevent more families from enduring such loss. #SalusClothing #StaySafe #PersonalSafety #SlashProof #ProtectiveWear #SafetyInStyle #WearableProtection #UrbanSafety #Empowerment #SafetyFirst https://lnkd.in/dhaJpDgW
