BIRMINGHAM, U.K. - s4story -- Virtual Decisions programmes use virtual reality to place young people in realistic, decision-based scenarios designed around trauma-informed principles – creating experiences that are engaging and safe without being retraumatising.

They are currently being delivered in schools, pupil referral units and youth justice settings throughout the Midlands. Stuart Lane, Co-Founder of Virtual Decisions, said: "Winning this award is a proud moment – but the work is what matters. We're using immersive technology to reach young people at the point where early intervention can make a real difference. These programmes are built to be honest about the realities of knife crime and exploitation, without ever putting young people back in harm's way."
