Safe

Youth Endowment Fund

Violence affects us all at some point, but for some children, it’s a daily reality. Every year, hundreds of young people in England and Wales are injured or killed by a sharp object. 5% of teenagers carry a weapon, 20% have been victims of violence, and most worry about it. Yet, while violence happens daily, so does prevention—we just don’t hear about it. Why does it happen? How can we stop it? Hosted by youth worker and author Ciaran Thapar (Youth Endowment Fund), Safe is a conversation about violence affecting children and young people with those who are working to stop it.
