WHAT IS THE COMMITMENT PLEDGE?

The Pledge states that the students promise to safely dispose of any weapon, not to use or carry weapons, to behave in a non-violent manner, to ask for help if needed, and to support their friends to act the same.

The Commitment Pledge is presented to schools in either a classroom environment or a school assembly and is normally done by the Kent Police Child Centred Policing Team with support from the VRU and/or partner agencies.

Once students understand the promises, the headteacher or staff member signs it on their behalf and it is displayed in a prominent location. Each school is also offered support from VRU, Police or partners to run an awareness campaign later in the year, to keep the pledge high on their agenda.
