West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership
The West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) brings together organisations across local communities to tackle the underlying causes that contribute to serious violent crime.
The West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) brings together organisations across local communities to tackle the underlying causes that contribute to serious violent crime.
The West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) was established in 2019. We work with specialists from health, police, local authorities, education, youth justice, prisons, probation and community groups.
Public sector bodies and communities collaborate to help reduce violence through early intervention, prevention, education and joint working. It uses a public health approach that focuses on prevention instead of cure.
By improving our understanding of serious violence and testing new methods, we can introduce ‘protective factors’ to lower incidents.
The Community Leaders Programme is an Institute of Leadership and Management recognised programme that supports community work. Opportunities to join are available on a cyclical basis.
We have a joint ambition to work together with people with lived experience and colleagues across all sectors and organisations to ensure West Yorkshire is a trauma informed and responsive system by 2030.
