Guidance

 

This Guidance presents a wide range of examples of effective practice that colleges have used when tackling and preventing problems relating to guns, gangs and knives. These are drawn from the LSIS research carried out in 2009, for which staff and learners at nine colleges in England were interviewed. To read case studies of the nine colleges, go to ‘Case studies’.

 

The Guidance is based on the same six Indicators as the Self-assessment tool and can also be accessed directly from there.  

 

The experience of each college will vary according to its location, the demographic make-up of its community, the age range of its learners, the programmes it offers, and other factors. Nevertheless, there is much common ground among colleges in their experience of what is effective practice in tackling problems relating to guns, gangs and knives.
