Everyone has a role to play in stopping violence and working together, we can help young people to be greater.
As part of the young people’s ‘I am greater’ campaign, we’ve produced four videos, each covering a different topic relating to violence and hosted by an expert in the subject area.
The videos aim to help parents speak to their child about difficult subjects and to sign post to further help and support. We have also listed relevant help and support on this page.
