Knife Crime

The B&NES Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) have 3 upcoming Parental Knife Crime Awareness events.  The next event is next week, Thursday 5th December 2024 – please book your ticket for this now.

Please note these events will now take place on:

o   Monday 10th February 2025 at Chew Valley School

These events are aimed at parents and carers who would like to know more about the dangers of knife crime or are concerned that their children are at risk; increasing awareness of key issues surrounding knife crime, empowering you and your children to make informed and positive decisions to stay safe.

You will have the opportunity to hear from a guest speaker with lived experience, who has been personally affected by knife crime, followed by a panel discussion with the opportunity to ask questions.  There will also be an opportunity to hear about the support available for children and families in B&NES and view a partnership film on county lines from a B&NES’ perspective. 

The Bath & North East Somerset Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) is a multi-agency partnership that aims to prevent and reduce violence in the area. We work to understand and address the root causes of violence, to prevent further violent crimes from occurring in the future. We provide resources and support the work of professionals and community groups who help children at risk or involved in serious violence.
