Children as young as 11 are being taught how to deal with stab wounds. The training could save lives, with bosses saying it's vital kids across Greater Manchester know what to do in the wake of a knife attack.
One headteacher acknowledged the 'unfortunate' reality that violence is 'on our doorstep', adding: "We want our young people to be ready for the real world."
Hundreds of schoolchildren were among the first to use dummy limbs to learn how to apply pressure, pack wounds and use a tourniquet this week. It comes following a Manchester Evening News investigation into the scourge of knife crime in our region.
