Tackling violence
Tackling violence – one where specialists from health, police, local government, schools, probation, youth services, and community organisations all work together to tackle violence and its underlying causes. The VRU provides London with greater capacity, expertise, and coordination to identify the root causes of violence and deliver early interventions to help prevent its spread. Operating on the basis that the best time to stop violence is before it starts, the VRU invests in London’s young people and communities and the services they rely on in order to expand opportunity for all.
