What we do

Violence is too often seen as an inevitable part of human life, events that are responded to rather than prevented. A public health approach challenges this notion and shows that violence can be predicted and prevented like any other health problem.

Commissioning interventions, delivering research, analysing data, conducting evaluations, leading campaigns, and evolving policing practice are all key areas of the Wales Violence Prevention Unit’s work. So too is our commitment to bringing partners together to ensure a coordinated approach to violence prevention, advocating for co-designed solutions to violence, both between organisations and with communities.
