Detail of outcome
In June 2022, the government launched a consultation seeking views on a draft version of the Serious Violence Duty statutory guidance, the legislation, local area support offers and a request for case studies.
We received feedback from interested stakeholders and parties including those with expertise in working with young people at risk of criminal involvement and / or re-offending or victimisation, those involved in law enforcement and, more generally, the communities affected by serious violence including the voluntary and community sector.
This included relevant professionals, such as those working in social care, education, law enforcement, local government, community safety, youth services, offender management, victims services, public health and healthcare.
This document provides a summary of responses and the governments response to the consultation.
The final statutory guidance on the Serious Violence Duty is now available.
