This is a new resource for education and youth work practitioners by Crimestoppers,  codesigned with young people in education, secure settings, and youth work. The toolkit aims to help young people explore the complexities of reporting crime and the stigma often associated with "grassing."

Through engaging activities, the resource encourages discussions around important questions such as the difference between "grassing" and speaking up, who benefits when communities remain silent, and how communities would change if reporting became the norm.

Alongside the toolkit, a new Be Fearless guide for practitioners is available, detailing Crimestoppers’ anonymous reporting service to help professionals confidently share the service with young people.
