Proud to speak at the #ReducingKnifeHarm conference last week.
Together, we’re tackling knife crime and reducing harm with tougher laws, smarter enforcement and better prevention.
We’re delivering on our commitment to halve knife crime, and we won’t stop until it’s done.

Great to engage with the Minister to explore how kitchen knife design can reduce knife crime with a particular cous on changing consumer behaviour. 🤝
Members can read a summary of the meeting here.👇

Our mission to halve knife crime requires a radical and holistic approach. Yesterday I met with key retailers and suppliers to discuss how we can increase the manufacture and sale of rounded knives. We are listening and we will stop at nothing to save lives.

Greatest Hits Radio helping to promote the evidence behind why rounded-edge knives are so important to have in every household.
Find out why Professor Leisa Nichols-Drew, from De Montfort University, has spent years researching the safety of rounded knives, and she believes deaths and injuries will be reduced, if new tactics, like those used by Kent and Medway VRU to tackle knife crime - get rolled out across the country.
#SaferTogether
Experts are urging shops and online retailers to help save lives by selling rounded knives.
Kent Police have been giving vulnerable households the chance to exchange kitchen knives for blunt-ended ones.

Today I asked the Leader of the House for a statement on knife crime that included phasing out pointed kitchen knives, which are far and away the most common murder weapon in England and Wales.

Hoping the safer kitchen knife message is translating to the public forum. Images show a letter from myself and 3 other experts to Editor of The Times (24/01/25), and Sunday Times feature (uploaded 01/02/25) where clothing damage research is referred to.
Our research paving the way for change. Pointed kitchen knives account for majority of stabbing related UK homicides - those street based or in domestic settings. bbc.com/news/articles/c1jgz1…
