The Violence Reduction Academy was established to identify, synthesise and promote evidence-based models of violence reduction in health and social care, sharing the latest research, and supporting wider implementation across the capital.
The Academy works with the NHS London Violence Reduction Programme to bring together practitioners and experts from different sectors with an aim to improve wellbeing in our communities and provide a health-orientated, partnership approach to reducing violence in society.
Since the launch of Academy in June 2023, we have supported 1,000's of health and care staff through learning and education opportunities, provided specialist expertise to developing violence reduction systems across the country, published the first UK evidence review of its kind and continue to showcase best practice in research and service delivery.
