Education partners for your Serious Violence Duty

We help councils, VRUs and police deliver measurable prevention in schools—through theatre, presentations, workshops and mentoring—so fewer young people are harmed and more feel safe.

Why this matters to you

Your success is measured in real-world safety: fewer youth-involved violent incidents, improved perceptions of safety, and education settings equipped to manage extra-familial risk. Our programmes are built on the Serious Violence Duty’s partnership approach, contextual safeguarding, and the Youth Endowment Fund’s evidence on what works.
