🚨A big moment for youth voice in London. 🎯Following a strong campaign from our Young People’s Action Group, the @metpoliceuk has changed its approach to sharing knife imagery. ‼️Proof that when young people are listened to, change can happen. 🔗 https://t.co/Eq7eLYwR3W

Brilliant work by the Young People’s Action Group. Persistence pays off in campaigning - 3 years on and we have the right policy change @LDN_VRU

💡 We are committed to supporting families to thrive. Through our 24,000-strong Parent Carer Champion Network, we identified lower levels of engagement with fathers. 🚀 That's why we commissioned the Strengthening Fathers Programme which has reached more than 570 fathers.

Great to speak to @BBCPolitics alongside @shalinastudio about the importance of investment into prevention and the positive impact of #MyEnds @LDN_VRU
Progress is being made with homicides, violence with injury and hospital admissions for knife assault all down in London. There is more to do to reduce violence, but now is not the time to take our eye off the ball. Prevention needs investment. @LibPeck speaks to @BBCLondonNews

Lovely event - honouring a life taken too soon but championing hope and opportunity through action! @LDN_VRU
It was an honour to join the family and loved ones of Damilola Taylor today. Damilola’s parents, Gloria Taylor and Richard Taylor OBE, are sadly no longer with us. I know how proud they would be to see the positive impact their work is having and will continue to have for

📉 Hospital admissions for knife assault of young people under the age of 25 have fallen by 43% since we were set up by @SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon. 💡 We have a long way to go but this progress highlights the contribution made through prevention and early intervention.

NEW: 93 murders in London (pop: ~9m) in 12 months to October. The city's murder rate is now lowest for decades; perhaps centuries. https://t.co/T0o7Q0bgVw

In 2019, London did something transformative: we set up a specialist Violence Reduction Unit - the first in the country - to intervene and take a preventative approach. The impact has been huge ⬇️

Progress is being made but it's clear there is more to do. Prevention has to be at the heart of an approach to drive down violence and key to it working is partnership. With @SadiqKhan, we will keep working with others to keep young people safe and supported to thrive.
