About This Webinar
The Blunt Truth is a collaboration between Avon and Somerset Police and the NHS aimed at encouraging young people to make a report if they know someone is carrying a knife.

The workshop – designed to be delivered in schools and youth settings - features a powerful film co-created with young people and teaches participants potentially life-saving first aid skills.

    Sara Rehman
    Trustee of Sheffield Young Carers and Young Adult Carer
    Sara has been a young carer since the age of 7 and was referred to SYC at the age of 14.

    Since then, she has been immensely supported by the charity and because of this, she joined their Action Group and then subsequently their board of directors, in order to give back to the cause. With her role in the charity, she has co-facilitated several events to raise awareness about young carers. This has included co-delivering conferences and training for Sheffield Health and Social Care Trust and more.

    Aside from her work with SYC, she is also starting university this month to study medicine and become a doctor!
