Plea for schools to back domestic violence campaign

"SCHOOLS in Banburyshire are being urged to back a campaign to raise awareness of domestic violence.
The Daventry and South Northants Domestic Violence Forum has invited all secondary schools in its area to get involved in a poster competition.

Youngsters aged between 14 and 18 have been invited to take part.

The National Violence Awareness Week will take place in November and to mark the event the Forum will be organising a poster campaign.

They have asked students to design poster designs that can be put up around Daventry and South Northants detailing the work of the Forum and giving important contact details.

First, second and third place prizes are on offer for those youngsters who choose to get involved and the closing date is Monday November 5.

A police spokesperson said: "We have invited the school students to design posters which will then be used as part of the National Violence Awareness Week.

"It will help promote the work of the South Northants Domestic Violence Forum during the week as well as start discussions in schools about the issues around domestic violence."" |Read more|
