TEENAGERS across the county will be told the story of an East Lancashire man killed by a single punch during lessons on violence.

Pat and Dave Rogers, the parents of 24-year-old Adam Rogers who died in July 2009 following unprovoked violence in Blackburn Town Centre are to launch their Consequences education package at a special event.

The material is the cornerstone of their campaign called ‘Consequences - lets stop the senseless violence’, which has been backed by the Lancashire Telegraph.

Pat, a former assistant principal at St Mary’s College in Blackburn, said it will be a ‘tremendous feeling’ to see their work helping to change 16-19 year olds’ attitudes to under-age drinking and violence.

She said: “This was the original target set for the charity to make a big impact with the education package. Since then other areas such as Dave’s restorative justice work and organ donation have really taken off and have a powerful effect on the people we are engaging with.

“One of the hardest things in the process has been editing the footage. To keep going through people’s interviews about how Adam’s death affected them has been quite painful.

“But it will be a tremendous boost when it is launched. We just hope that it can make a difference.”

The package contains a section on ‘Adam’s Story’ which sets the scene for the whole pack.

There is a drama workshop, an interview with Det Supt Neil Hunter and Chief Insp Andy Winter which encourages debate on town centre violence, cuts to policing and personal safety, and moving clips of people affected directly and indirectly by Adam’s death.

Other topics include restorative justice, where Dave Rogers talks about meeting the Padiham football coach’s teenage killer in jail, and ‘the gift of life’ with footage of Mark Smith who benefited from Adam being an organ donor.

Each session has film, teaching notes, worksheets and stimulus questions to prompt discussion. They will be used in personal and social education lessons at sixth forms and colleges across East Lancashire and then hopefully rolled out across the country.

The launch is at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel on May 3.
