On Monday 5th November we were visited by Byron Highton from the JJ Effect, who spoke to us about knife crime, some of the different types of knives banned in the UK, why they are so dangerous, and some of the potential consequences of carrying knives.

Byron also shared his own personal experience of his brother being involved in a fatal stabbing, where he tragically lost his life.

Although sad and gory in parts, everyone who went found the talk extremely informative and thought-provoking.
