Knife Crime and Youth Violence
Steve Chalke, founder of the Oasis Charitable Trust and the UK's first secure school, on why our schools don’t work for Britain’s troubled children.
More children are being convicted of crime and our prisons are nearly at capacity. But Steve Chalke thinks he has a solution.
The founder of the Oasis Charitable Trust, which runs a chain of academies and the UK’s first secure school, works closely with children who have committed the worst crimes. He advocates for radically changing our schools, the education system, and how we rehabilitate our young offenders.
Amol and Steve also talk about their shared background, the crisis of masculinity, and how a rejection at the age of 14 lead him to where he is today.
