We are teachers & self defence instructors that work with children of all ages and last year we surveyed a number of pupils in secondary schools in South Yorkshire. 6/10 freely admitted that they had a fear of violence from other pupils. 4/10 pupils freely admitted being attacked in the community.

violent Crime figures are rising year by year and from 2015-2016 grow by 27%. Our survey showed that the fear of physical violence, harassment or abuse was making 2/10 children severely depressed and had a dramatic effect on the learning of others. The fear of peer pressure and threats of violence had a dramatic effect on Girls taking part Physical education. Only 2/10 children surveyed said they would know or be confident in what to do to protect themselves against aggression or violence
