About The Course

Knife crime presents a serious public health and safety challenge, with wide-reaching consequences for individuals, families, and communities. This comprehensive course is designed for healthcare professionals who may encounter the direct or indirect effects of knife-related violence in their work.

Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the types and causes of knife crime, including peer pressure, trauma, gang involvement, and social exclusion. The course examines legal frameworks, emergency response strategies, and the long-term impact on victims and offenders. Learners will also explore practical tools for early identification, reporting protocols, emotional aftercare, and effective community interventions.

Through real-life case studies and de-escalation scenarios, professionals will be better prepared to support victims, recognise at-risk individuals, and contribute to preventative efforts across healthcare and community settings.
