The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 requires Community Safety Partnerships to work together to reduce serious violence in their areas through the implementation of a violence reduction strategy.
In Trafford, much work was already underway to tackle the issue of serious violence, supported by funding and expertise provided by The Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit which was formed in 2019.
With partners we have developed a strategy to tackle violence in the borough. The strategy was informed by a joint strategic needs assessment.
