All Year 6 pupils at Fairford Academy Barnehurst attended a transition workshop with Youth Unity in which they participated in a session tackling issues that affect children, young people and the community that they live in. The programme was developed in response to national attention on the increase of violence, criminal exploitation and associated vulnerability of children. It focussed on wellbeing and keeping themselves safe which included; peer pressure, mixing with the wrong people, criminal activity, age responsibility and social media.

The feedback from pupils, staff and James, the workshop facilitator was excellent.
