Empowering Youth Voice: Film Guidance to support Violence Prevention
Since it’s inception, the MVP programme has provided young people with opportunities to create violence prevention films.
We have collated these films into a guidance document to enhance the use of these films, and support parents, carers and professionals to develop conversations with young people around serious violence.
Each film is summarised, age-rated and accompanied with conversation starters and support services to make preventing violence everyone’s business.
