Another fantastic series of workshops by the VRU

The VRU returned once again to Trinity Academy Newcastle Upper Site on Thursday 2nd May 2024 to deliver workshops focusing on County Line and Exploitation to our learners.

County Lines is where illegal drugs are transported from one area to another, often across police and local authority boundaries (although not exclusively), usually by children or vulnerable people who are coerced into it by gangs. The 'County Line' is the mobile phone line used to take the orders of drugs.

This provided our learners with some invaluable information to keep them safe. It also included a VR (virtual Reality) session where they investigated a potential County Lines house for evidence.
