Our Year 10 Mentors in Violence Prevention have begun their 2026 work with a training session from Mia Magee from the Merseyside Youth Association.

The session on Wednesday afternoon prepared the students for testing their skills in the field with the delivery of lessons to Year 7 students the following day during PSHE.

The Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) programme explores a series of scenarios involving a range of behaviours, such as name-calling, sexting, controlling behaviour and harassment. Using a 'bystander' approach individuals are not considered potential victims or perpetrators; instead, they are empowered and active bystanders with the ability to support and challenge their peers in a safe way.
