The DVD contains a short film about a knifing incident in a school and a subsequent guns incident that followed, which is acted out by staff and students of a secondary school. It graphically illustrates what can happen when young people carry weapons, and how confrontation can rapidly escalate into violence and tragedy, with the reality of a subsequent police intervention. The programme provides a mechanism for young people to observe a situation involving guns and knives, and to learn through discussion, reflection and activities.
The comprehensive session plan has learning objectives that cover:
~ The legal position relating to the carrying or use of knives or guns
~ The consequences of carrying knives or guns
~ Being able to make safe decisions about knives or guns.
