Prevent knife crime with metal detector wands in every school in the UK.
Make every school in the UK have metal detectors and wands to prevent knife crimes.
Educating students about the dangers of knives and the legal consequences of carrying them.
Teaching children basic self defence.
As a mother, I am becoming worried sending my son to school from the many stories all over the UK involving knife attacks amongst young person's in school.
Schools were supposed to be seen as a safe place, Now they seem to be somewhere where children can do what they want, These children come into school with intention to murder other pupils.
We need to protect our children and make them feel safe in their learning environment.
