Serious Violence Reduction Strategy 2024-2026

Our vision

The Surrey Serious Violence Reduction Partnership will work together to prevent harm, reduce the occurrence of violence, develop a counter-narrative around violence and increase confidence in neighbourhoods. With insight and data, we can co-design interventions and support, which will not only reduce violence but work to prevent the causal factors that allow violence to grow.

Our principles

We will commit to the five key principles of a public health approach:

• Collaboration – we will engage with a diverse range of partners to successfully work together towards the shared goal of tackling and preventing violence.
• Co-production – we commit to working in a partnership that listens and reflects and involves the community in solutions.
• Cooperation in data and intelligence sharing – we will establish a data sharing process that enables an evidence-based response to tackle serious violence.
• Counter-narrative development – we will work to develop a delivery plan that creates credible and trusted alternatives for all and celebrates the strength of our communities.
• Community consensus – we will recognise that at the heart of a place based public health approach are our communities and we will empower them to become involved in developing solutions.
