VISION Annual Conference 2025


The UKPRP VISION Consortium is pleased to announce our 4th annual conference:
Mobilising a cross-government response to violence prevention
Tuesday 3 June, 10:00 – 16:00
The Light Auditorium, Friends House, 173-177 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BJ

Effective violence prevention requires mobilising a cross-government response. There is a role and unique contribution to be made by every government department and service. With a new government in its first year and various violence prevention strategies in development, including Safer Streets and the commitment to halving violence against women and girls, this is an opportunity to discuss what a cross-government response looks like. This conference will bring together voices from across academia; the community and voluntary sector; central and local government; health, justice and welfare services; and others to discuss how we can work together better to reduce violence.

Join us for a day of talks and discussions on how we can better mobilise a cross-government response to violence prevention.

Keynote speakers TBA

Sessions on the programme include new interdisciplinary research from the VISION consortium and its partners on:

- The cost of violence;

- Embedding Lived Experience in cross-government responses to violence prevention; and
