School Workshops

Laura Summers is the force's Children & Young Persons Officer, she works within the Prevention Directorate to coordinate and deliver our free educational offers to children and young people living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Laura works with a small team of PCSO’s who hold the role of Youth Engagement Officers in their Neighbourhood Policing Area, to deliver in-person and virtual sessions to KS3 students.

Each session lasts approximately 45-50 minutes to fit with class timetables. We have ensured it sits within the Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PHSE) association remit in the below KS3 areas:

• H30. How to identify risk and manage personal safety in increasingly independent situations, including online.
• H33. How to get help in an emergency and perform basic first aid, including cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of defibrillators.
• R47. Motivations, misconceptions, and consequences of carrying weapons and strategies for managing pressure to carry a weapon

Our knife crime awareness package incorporates key messages related to knife crime including how to find help and support.
