I know someone carrying a knife, what do I do?

It's never too late to get help if you're worried about gun and knife crime, or are involved with it already. You could talk to your teacher, another adult you trust or Childline.

Google your local youth club or community centre as they may run projects that are geared towards stopping gun crime, and you could get involved.

You can call Childline on 0800 1111 at any time if you're worried about your own safety or if you think someone you know is carrying or even using a gun or knife.

You can also contact fearless.org anonymously online at www.fearless.org/en for more information about gun and knife crime and the law. Or, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you want to report a crime that has already happened.

Don't be afraid to be strong and do the right thing.
