IT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN
TOOLKIT AND GUIDANCE
Ideas for action
The It Doesn't Have to Happen (IDHTH) local campaigners' toolkit is for anyone wanting to take action to tackle youth knife crime in their area.
Intended to inform and inspire local action, this toolkit provides ideas, advice, support and best-practice on how to engage young people and tackle knife crime in your area. It covers how to run events, set up local partnerships, and engage young people, and how to work through the media to get your anti-knife crime messages out there.
