    December marks the arrival of the Knife Angel in Milton Keynes, created from 100,000 weapons seized by the police across the UK. During the month the Safety Centre will deliver life saving safety education to 1,500 Milton Keynes primary school students between 9-11 years old. Sessions focus on the dangers of carrying a knife, the life changing consequences of carrying and using a knife, the law around carrying a weapon or witnessing a knife attack and how to protect yourself, your future, your community and everyone around you.

    Knife Crime Safety Education Programme

    Our Choices and Consequences Knife Crime sessions are being delivered out into schools across the city of Milton Keynes as well as to students at the DONS Stadium, where the Knife Angel is situated between 1 December-8 January 2023. The sculpture created by the British Ironworks is positioned outside gate 1 at Stadium MK and at 27 foot high is a focal point of the Bletchley stadium precinct this December.

    Today we delivered our first knife crime education sessions into schools in MK and students wrote messages of hope to be displayed at the Knife Angel all December.

    Messages of Hope Safety Centre

    The Knife Angel Arrives in MK

    Welcomed into Milton Keynes by a police bikes and horse escort with police horses Loki and Victor, the statue arrived on a foggy Thursday afternoon. Our education team and CEO joined our partners Thames Valley Police, MK City Council, MK DONS SET and the press to talk about the importance of our life saving education, being delivered this December and beyond to primary and secondary students across our region.

    Maya Joseph-Hussain Chief Executive of the Safety Centre said

    “We’re here today to talk about the lifesaving learning programme we’re delivering, challenging misconceptions around knife crime and highlighting the life changing consequences it can have. I was humbled to meet and speak with Jason Fathers, father of Jay who tragically died as a result of a knife attack in 2o21. We spoke about the importance of knife crime education for young people across the country and the devastating impact of knife crime on families and communities. Our education programme delivered by our expert team, approaches the challenging topic of knife crime in an age appropriate, sensitive way. We will be delivering sessions across the month of action in December and across schools in Slough when the angel moves on in January.”

    Thames Valley Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner have announced that the National Monument Against Violence and Aggression, known as the Knife Angel will be coming to Milton Keynes at the end of the year as part of a month of action against violent crime this December. Based at the Stadium MK the monument was created by the British Ironwork Centre and designed by sculptor Alfie Bradley, made of over 100,000 knives. The knives were collected through a nationwide knife amnesty supported by police forces across the country and the Home Office. The monument was created to highlight the impact of knife crime on people, families and communities.

    Opportunities For Open Communications About The Choices And Consequences Of Knife Crime

    The Knife Angel provides an opportunity for the people of Milton Keynes, and the city’s visitors from further afield to talk about knife crime and knives, why people carry them and the life changing impact they can have. The Safety Centre Charity, the world’s first safety education charity was created to teach children, young people and adults how to stay safe in daily life. The charity’s pioneering education programme has developed as the risks we face in daily life have evolved. Visits to their education centre Hazard Alley now include early intervention knife crime education as well as early intervention knife crime outreach sessions in schools across the region. The centre which is Learning Outside the Classroom certified, has an exceptional education team who are trained to talk about knife crime and the choices and consequences of carrying weapons in a safe, age appropriate way. The education team is looking forward to sharing their expertise during the month of action this December.

    Pioneering Safety Education

    Sarah Surridge, Marketing and Communications Manager at the Safety Centre Charity said

    ‘As the world’s first safety education charity the Safety Centre are pioneers in safety education, including knife crime. As we adapt to the changing world we live in we’ve introduced early intervention knife crime education for all our year 5 and 6 visitors to our education centre in Kiln Farm Milton Keynes. This is in addition to our outreach programmes in schools delivering knife crime education to school students, talking about the choices young people have and the consequences of their choices, which are potentially far reaching and life changing. The Safety Centre is excited to be part of this important education opportunity with the Knife Angel coming to Milton Keynes and will be creating safe spaces for potentially life saving conversations about knife crime and it’s consequences. We look forward to working with Thames Valley Police, MK Council and MK Dons SET to deliver this vital education.’
