VISION Collaborations

VISION is a consortium of ten universities and one of our strengths lies in the multitude of partnerships cultivated during the research programme.

It is the collaborative, inclusive nature of our relationships with other organisations whether government or specialist services that helps to improve our understanding of how violence is measured and ensures our findings are relevant and most importantly, used. We strive for impact through our partnerships, seeking practical changes in policies and services that reduce violence and health inequalities.

The organisations and individuals that collaborate with VISION are cross-cutting and include:
