Medics Against Violence
During week beginning 9th and 16th April, representatives from Medics Against Violence visited Whitburn Academy to talk to our S2 and S3 pupils.
The purpose of the talk and accompanying video was to make pupils think of the consequences of violent actions and violence both from the point of view of a victim, the perpetrator and from the medical teams.
The visit was part of Medics against Violence's current initiative, where senior doctors go in to secondary schools and use their experiences in dealing with the victims of violence to try to influence attitudes to violence among Scottish youth - particularly in relation to knife carrying and gang membership.
Further information on the Medics Against Violence schools programme can be found on the Medics Against Violence (opens new window) website.
