There is always a way to live a life without knives. If knives are affecting your life or the life of someone you know, you don’t have to face it alone.
Please speak to someone you trust about your concerns.
Who to talk to
Someone I know is carrying a knife
Speak to an adult you can trust. This could be someone in your family, one of your teachers at school, your local / community police officer, or your youth worker.
If it’s not an emergency, you can contact Fearless completely anonymously to report your concerns.
