Pupils from BGS are behind a new app designed to save more young people from knife crime.
They have joined forces with other schools, charities, police and the Home Office to create ‘Aunty Knife’ – a portal for reporting crime and advice for parents or teenagers who feel unsafe, available on both Apple and Android.
The play on word campaign by Neesie is designed to sit in the hearts and minds of young people, who tailored the features to what they want to see, and acts as a family figure to those at risk.
Two pupils from BGS will also be selected to attend a meeting in the Houses of Parliament to present their group’s policy paper. Their reports will offer solutions to Ministers in the plight to reduce and eradicate the national weapon epidemic.
