Our Positive Choices Programme is a 1-day event that offers interactive, discussion-based workshops, that sees up to six Guest Speakers deliver 50-minute sessions across the school day to Key Stage 3 and 4 Pupils. The purpose is to enable young people to make better choices about their lives and futures.

Working with key partners such as West Yorkshire Police, our lived experienced Guest Speakers tell their stories of how negative choices have impacted their lives and the consequences that this has brought to themselves, their families, and their communities.

Through lived experience stories, the educational awareness raising sessions focus on key themes through involvement in gangs, knife crime, county lines, violence, negative relationships, and child criminal exploitation, as well as hearing how a young person fell victim to such violence and was murdered as a consequence.
