Serious violence continues to impact individuals, families, and communities across the UK. Traditional enforcement-led models alone have not been sufficient in reducing harm or addressing root causes. Increasingly, the public health approach has gained traction as a strategic framework for understanding and responding to serious violence in more holistic, preventative ways. This course explores how applying a public health lens can help professionals and organisations develop long-term, sustainable strategies to reduce violence by tackling its underlying causes, including poverty, trauma, exclusion, and inequality. Participants will gain an understanding of: The principles of a public health approach to violence preventionHow violence spreads within communities and the role of early interventionThe importance of multi-agency collaboration, data-sharing, and community engagementPractical case studies from local areas applying public health frameworksThe relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), social disadvantage and patterns of serious violence Through a mix of expert insight, frontline perspectives, and interactive discussion, attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to implement preventative, person-centred approaches in their own services. Ideal for: Violence reduction unit teams and safeguarding professionalsYouth justice and probation practitionersSocial workers and early help teamsPublic health professionals and policy advisorsPolice, community safety and neighbourhood teamsEducation, housing, and community development workers Key Takeaways: What defines a public health model of violence preventionHow trauma, inequality and marginalisation drive serious violenceExamples of successful, place-based public health interventionsThe power of data, partnerships and community voice in designing effective responsesTools to begin embedding this approach into local strategy and frontline practice Additional Benefits: Strengthen multi-agency working and shared responsibility for harm reductionBuild confidence in adopting preventative frameworks beyond enforcementGain insight into scalable models that address serious violence as a societal issue, not just a criminal one This course is essential for professionals and leaders committed to shifting from reactive models to evidence-informed, holistic approaches that tackle serious violence at its roots.
