Humber Violence Prevention Partnership
The Humber VPP was formed in 2022/23 after securing Home Office funding for a Violence Reduction Unit. The partnership includes the Police and Crime Commissioner, Humberside Police, the four Humber local authorities, Youth Offending Teams, the local NHS Integrated Care Board, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and the Probation Service.
The partnership is responsible for leading and co-ordinating local work to prevent and reduce serious violence through a public health approach. It conducts detailed analysis of the causes and ways of preventing violence, seeks to improve data sharing between agencies, and commissions and evaluates a range of evidence-based interventions.
The VPP commission a wide range of projects, including those aimed at early intervention that work to prevent violence from occurring at all.
Information on the Humber VPP, their Strategic Needs Assessment, their ongoing projects and how to sign up for their newsletter, can be found on their website, https://humbervpp.org/.
