It's Not OK!

'It's not OK!' is a violence prevention partnership led by Liverpool City Council.  The initiative was begun as part of the Liverpool's Capital of Culture programme in 2008 and is now seen as one of the key legacy projects from the year.

The partnership has developed a number of creative education resources designed to engage young people in social education programmes.  These interactive software packages have been demonstrate to be effective in changing young people's attitudes in relation to a number of key issues, including alcohol use, homophobic and racial bullying and anti-social behaviour.  The resources are all mapped against core curriculum subjects including maths and English and excitingly deliver improved academic performance in these subjects.

Current members of the 'It's not OK!' partnership are Culture Liverpool, Liverpool Children's Service, Liverpool CitySafe, Liverpool Neighbourhood Partnerships, Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service and Liverpool PCT.
