What the petition asks

Knife crime is a growing and devastating reality affecting young people across our communities. Too often, teenagers find themselves in situations where a friend or peer has been seriously injured, and they simply do not know how to respond.

Equipping young people with these skills is not about causing fear or alarm. It is about preparing them for real-life situations and giving them the ability to act when it matters most. By ensuring every student leaves school with this knowledge, we can empower a generation to respond with confidence, reduce preventable deaths, and build safer, more resilient communities.
