Youngsters from schools in Lancashire and Manchester have helped the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to develop a hard-hitting DVD about racist and religious hate crime and bullying.
The pupils teamed up with the CPS, National Union of Teachers and the Anthony Walker Foundation to create the film.
Twenty students from Accrington Academy were among those involved in devising, scripting and acting out dramatised scenarios of racist and religious hate incidents for the DVD (pictured, right). All the scenarios are based on young people’s real-life experiences.
They also helped to develop an educational resource pack about the issue. It will be used by secondary schools across the country and provides classroom activities designed to increase young people’s understanding of hate crime and prejudice and how to challenge it.
