A woman in Walsall survived a neck stabbing thanks to a @TheDanielBaird1 #ControlTheBleed🩸 kit. 📍 @OFFICIALWMAS call handlers found the nearest kit, gave the code & guided its use while an ambulance was sent. She recovered. Every UK region needs this service. Govt must act

It was quite a night @unibirmingham for the @patbensonboxing fundraiser - raising money for youth offending projects. #MyTomorrow was there to support their goal, get them the media coverage they deserve & ensure young people have a voice when it comes to tackling youth violence

Today we're sharing our third annual Children, Violence, and Vulnerability report. This year, we extended our annual survey to include 10,000 children aged 13 to 17, with new areas of focus such as the impact of witnessing weapons online and the prevalence of violence within teenage relationships. This year we have divided the report into five key areas, released weekly to highlight the voices of young people and spark conversation. 🎯 These include: 1️⃣ Who is affected by violence? 2️⃣ The role of social media in youth violence. 3️⃣ Gendered experiences of violence. 4️⃣ How young people view the police. 5️⃣ Access to youth clubs and trusted adults. Today we focus on 'Who is affected by violence?' Learn more: buff.ly/3YTMiSJ #YEF #YouthVoice #ViolencePrevention #CVV2024
