Decision details

London Violence Reduction Unit: Inclusive Education For All Young Londoners – Hosted by London VRU, this is a shared learning opportunity to discuss views and visions about how inclusive education can be championed and continue to support young people to thrive. A panel and speakers are lined up of London leaders, local authorities, young people, teachers and education specialists. This partnership approach has been built on the voice of young people and informed by parents and carers, schools, education specialists and local authorities. An inclusive, quality education is at the heart of London's Inclusion Charter and helps to keep young people safe. Tackling exclusions, suspensions, and the high level of absenteeism in our schools is at the heart of the GM VRU’s prevention work and is central to the Greater Than Violence strategy, therefore the GM VRU Programme Principal will bring back shared learning arising from the day and discuss with the GM VRU partnership.

Youth Endowment Fund conference- Engaging with Parents of Children at Risk of Violence- This is an opportunity to hear from experts and political leaders on promising parenting interventions for children at risk of violence, and how to effectively engage parents/carers with these interventions, including via interactive workshops exploring evidence-based parenting interventions and best practice for engaging parents, working with parents as partners for exploited children. Keynote speeches will be delivered by the Children’s Commissioner for England (Dame Rachel De Souza) and the Shadow Minister for Children & Early Years (Helen Hayes MP). One of the GM VRU’s flagship interventions is a support service for parents & carers of adolescents involved in or at risk of serious violence, therefore the Programme Principal’s attendance to this event is vital to understand the emerging national evidence based for this intervention and take away shared learning.
