Effective violence prevention requires different sectors to work together. Employers, justice, social and healthcare services, and providers of specialist services all have a role to play. While sharing many goals, there are differences in the populations they engage with, the definitions they use, and the outcomes they prioritise and measure.
Join us for a day of talks and discussions on how we can better bridge the siloes in violence-related research, policy and practice.
Keynote speakers, Dr Claudia Garcia-Moreno (World Health Organisation) and Professor Katrin Hohl (City, University of London) consider the changes needed for effective violence prevention from the perspectives of health and justice.
Sessions on the programme include new interdisciplinary research from the VISION consortium and its partners on:
- Preventing violence against older people: what needs to change in research and policy;
- Learning across statutory review practices: origins, ambitions and future directions; and
- Responding to Experiences and Expressions of Interpersonal Violence in the workplace
Registration is required and free. This is an in person conference only. If you cannot attend but would like the slides, please contact the email listed below.
