Details

This information is for partners in local areas across the country, including police and crime commissioners, public health departments and community safety partnerships. It will help them understand and respond to serious violence that affects their communities.

It complements other government initiatives by outlining a public health approach to preventing serious violence and giving some principles and actions for local areas to use. It will act as a guide to help local partners look at the specific needs of their populations and work out how to meet them.
