This session is led by Chris Preddie, OBE. Chris is a relative of the two brothers convicted of killing schoolboy Damilola Taylor and has been chosen as a role model in an initiative to tackle youth crime. Chris was himself involved in gangs and drugs until he was 16. Then his elder brother Andrew was shot dead at a barber’s shop in Brixton and he was determined to turn his life around. Chris is a talented young man who uses poetry to get his powerful message across to young people. This is a highly engaging workshop designed to capture the imagination of your students. This session will focus on a number of issues related to young people when they are stopped by Police on the streets. The rights of young people will be examined in a Question and Answer style workshop. The students will also learn about Arrest, Bail and Charge issues.
