Pupils at St Mary's Catholic Voluntary Academy in New Mills have been visited by local police officers, who held a session around the word 'consequences'.
PCSOs Brian Buller and Amanda Bardsley visited the Longlands Road school last Thursday (30 June) to carry out the lesson with the Year 6 class, with children aged 10 and 11.
The aims of the visit were to make the young people aware that the age of criminal responsibility for young people begins at the age of 10.
Officers also explained what a crime is and the different types of crimes, including punishments and sentences.
The direct and indirect impacts of crime and how it affects victims, perpetrators, family and the community were also discussed, as well as the specific consequences regarding knife crime.
The class were then made aware of how to report crime 100 per cent anonymously using sites such as Fearless.org - or by calling 101 or 999.
It was also explained how pupils could and should tell trusted adults about crime, such as teachers, parents, mentors or the police.
A spokesperson for Glossop Police Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "We would like to thank the staff and the head from St Mary's School for accommodating the visit - and a big thank you to all the pupils who took part in the lesson."
