Operation Prospect
Posted 10th March 2025
On Monday 10 March the academy took part in Operation Prospect, a vital new initiative aimed at reducing serious violence, including knife and gun crime, and raising awareness of exploitation in Merseyside. This initiative is built on the belief that every young person has the power to shape a safer future for themselves, their families, and their community.
Through education and open discussion, Operation Prospect equips students with the knowledge, confidence, and support they need to make responsible choices and contribute to a safer society. The sessions focus on three key messages:
🔹 Think about the consequences of your actions – Understanding the impact of violence and weapon-carrying on individuals, families, and the wider community.
🔹 Consider and contribute to community safety – Encouraging young people to look out for one another and make positive choices that promote safety.
🔹 Have the confidence to speak up – Ensuring students know how to seek help and report concerns to a trusted person.
By taking part in Operation Prospect, our students gained an understanding of the role of firearms officers, the dangers associated with weapons, and the lasting effects of violence. The programme also highlights the importance of joint enterprise and how young people can safely report concerns.
This initiative is a crucial step toward creating a stronger, more connected, and violence-free Merseyside. By taking part, we are committed to empowering our students to make a difference and build a safer future for all.
