With the violence reduction units in England and Wales facing an uncertain future my report proposes a key role for them in local prevention linked to the youth hubs proposed by @UKLabour - the cost of crisis v a preventative supportive model

The Lab was very proud to have played a part in proving young people who are vulnerable to violence with this opportunity. Please support it
❤️It was an absolute privilege to work with colleagues @UKYouth and @YouthEndowFund on year 1 of the Summer Jobs programme, and we are thrilled that this will be delivered again this year!

It is five years since the @YouthEndowFund was born. It is the UK’s largest What Works Centre - focused on finding what works to reduce violence and changing things. So what has been achieved?🧵(1/23)
Yesterday we published our social media research framework, setting out a path to learn more about the possible links between social media and violence bi.team/wp-content/uploads/2… (1/3)
We want to collaborate with other organisations to advance this research agenda, and work together to bring light rather than heat to this debate - if you want to get involved, please DM us, or get in touch at [email protected] (2/3)
We also published a guest blog from the authors of Against Youth Violence: A Social Harm Perspective, @lbilli91 and @KeirIrwinRogers. The blog sets out the need for a comprehensive and nuanced examination of the link between social media and youth violence (3/3)
