Keeping Londoners safe means being tough on crime, but also tough on the causes of crime - including providing opportunities for young Londoners. Our record £30 million investment will deliver a new late-night youth club in every London borough.

❗ Young people should shape the systems that affect them. 🗣️ Last week, nearly 100 young people shared how to make schools more neuro-inclusive. 🧡 Inclusion means better experiences and fewer absences, suspensions and exclusions. 🔗 london.gov.uk/programmes-str…

📉 We are seeing real progress with homicides, knife crime and violence with injury falling in London. 💡Working with @SadiqKhan and communities across London, prevention is contributing to a safer London. 🧡Because violence is preventable, not inevitable.

Violence is complex. There’s no single cause or solution. We reduce risk factors by using evidence, data and insight to build on what works. Our Evidence Hub is blazing a trail. From evaluations to research. Check it out here: 🔗: bit.ly/3ZUasO9
