Subjects covered were County Lines & Drug Dealing, Grooming, Child Criminal Exploitation and Family Perspective. Pupils also got to see what a mock prison looked like and experience the day to day routine of a prisoner. At the end of the day, all pupils took part in a mock court case regarding joint enterprise.

The local policing team in Wirral organised a football tournament with the support of Rakers FC and other partners, that took place on Friday 17 December.
The event was aimed at deterring young people from carrying knives and dangerous weapons. It was a great turnout that saw local teens compete against different teams including a Wirral police team.
A police spokesperson said, “It is always nice to meet and engage with the young people in our community and we hope that they had as much fun as we did. The BladeFree campaign is aimed at fundamentally deterring knife crime through the provision of clubs and activities, giving kids the opportunity to gain skills, experience and friendships as well as educating and showing them that there really is more to life than being involved in crime.”
