Although knife crime is not a part of everyday life in South Wales, it is important that we continue taking action to prevent a problem occurring.
Knife crime affects only the minority of our population. However, any incident involving a knife can have devastating consequences for those involved.
Through our campaign #NotTheOne, we aim to educate young people on the dangers of carrying a knife by giving parents, teachers, and community groups the tools they need to do this.
