The Levy Family wish and desire that:

• The appropriate authorities take the necessary steps to ensure that what happened to their son does not happen to any other person – those issues and threats are identified either within or outside the educational system, that steps are taken to ensure that a holistic approach is maintained for the safety of all children.
  
  
• The private sector and other organistaions help to provide alternatives for the young people in the community, either in terms of mentoring, work experience or other means. This is one way they can invest in their company’s future with the view that the young people of today are the employees of the future.
  
  
• Appropriate strategies and contingencies are put in place for immediate response to matters concerning child welfare and when such matters arise they are given appropriate attention. It is inappropriate and unprofessional to have to wait for such long periods to get answers to very basic questions.
  
  
• More work is done to monitor and prevent the use of knifes, guns and other offensive weapons in our community with a view to totally eradicate them from being in the hands of our children, our schools and on our streets.
  
  
• Every individual employed by the local authorities to look after the welfare of children and young people, in what ever capacity, must truly have their interest at heart and ensure the position they hold is not just a stepping stone used to further their own career while people they serve are left neglected.
  
  
• Every parent in the community should be a parent to every child in the community. Everyone should take on their responsibility to work meaningfully to rid our streets of violent crimes.
  
  
• Government and the local council work to ensure that the senior management positions accurately reflect the community that it serves (especially in our schools).
