We’re resharing this post because it shows something important happening close to home — a shop selling a knife to someone who was underage.

It’s a reminder that access to knives isn’t always about intent. Sometimes it’s about a moment, a mistake, or pressure a young person didn’t know how to handle.

If you’re worried about someone carrying a knife — or you’re feeling that pressure yourself — you can share concerns anonymously here:

And you can always talk to someone you trust.
There’s always a way forward.

West Berkshire police cadets have been helping with a national knife crime initiative by test purchasing knives in shops.

The say one shop in Newbury sold a knife to an underage person.

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day 🌍♿

Over 1 billion people worldwide are affected by inaccessibility — across both digital spaces and physical environments.

Accessibility isn’t just about ramps, lifts, or doorways. It’s also about things like clear navigation, readable fonts, captions, contrast, sensory needs, communication styles, and creating environments where people genuinely feel included.

At New Meaning Training, we know accessibility is something you keep learning about — not something you “complete.”

We’re always looking at ways we can improve, from making our digital content easier to engage with, to creating learning environments that better support the young people who walk through our doors every day.

We also recognise that access needs are not always visible. Whether they’re sensory, cognitive, physical, emotional, or something else entirely — everyone deserves to feel supported, understood, and able to take part.

One of the most important parts of accessibility is listening.

So if you ever spot something that feels difficult to access, understand, or engage with — online or in person — we’d genuinely love you to tell us. Feedback helps us learn, improve, and create spaces that work better for everyone.

Your brain is always trying to protect you.
Sometimes that means preparing for danger before anything’s even happened.

When anxiety takes over, “what if?” can start to feel real — and that can affect how young people think, react, and move through the world around them.

For some young people, fear about the future isn’t just stress. It can shape decisions, friendships, behaviour, and how safe they feel day to day.

This week especially, it’s important to remember that behind behaviour is often fear, pressure, uncertainty, or feeling like there aren’t many options.

That doesn’t mean young people are “bad”.
It means we need to understand what’s really going on underneath.

At New Meaning Training, we take the time to listen first, understand what’s driving behaviour, and help young people find safer, healthier ways forward — without judgement.

Because feeling understood can change everything.

National Knife Crime Awareness Week is an opportunity to move beyond fear and focus on understanding, support and prevention.

Many young people don’t carry weapons because they want trouble — some carry because they feel unsafe, pressured, vulnerable or afraid.

That’s why open, honest and judgement-free conversations matter.

Parents, carers, educators and communities all have a role to play in helping young people feel heard, supported and safe enough to talk honestly about the pressures they may be facing.
