Matthew Hooper introduced the report to agree the Council’s Serious Violence Duty Strategy. Under the new Duty, this Strategy would need to be published on the Council’s website by the end of January 2024. They worked together with partners, including young people, the voluntary and community sector, businesses, the Metropolitan Police, Health colleagues and the Youth Justice Service to identify their concerns about serious violence across the Borough. The recommendations were produced from the data trends in the needs assessment and the consultation responses.
