Reducing Violence Programme

Session 1: What to do if someone is bleeding

when injured by a knife or sharp object

How to call an ambulance and stem blood loss until medical help arrives. Young people are trained to apply pressure on or around the wound depending on whether the blade is still present. Visual demonstrations and interactive Q&A features explain the science of blood loss, debunk common myths, and prepare young people for real life scenarios.

Session 2: What to do if someone is knocked out

after a fight or attack

How to tell if someone is breathing or not, how to call an ambulance and give first-aid until medical help arrives. Young people are trained to use the recovery position if people are breathing and deliver chest compressions if they are not breathing. Visual demonstrations and interactive Q&A features explain the science of breathing and concussion, debunk common myths, and prepare young people for real life scenarios.

Partner Toolkit

Talking about violence can be traumatic, so we send every partner a set of free additional resources to support staff and young people before, during and after our training sessions. Created by a trauma specialist, our toolkit is full of practical advice, lesson plans and guidance on supporting young people in person and online.
