Home Office funding to support targeted action on serious violence in Wiltshire and Swindon

A new round of Home Office funding awarded through the Serious Violence Duty will continue to support targeted initiatives to prevent and reduce serious violence across Wiltshire and Swindon.

The funding forms part of a new national allocation and will enable partners in policing, health, education and community services to sustain and expand proven prevention activity, strengthen early intervention, and deliver targeted action in areas and communities most affected by serious violence.

Decisions on how this funding is deployed are informed by a refreshed Strategic Needs Assessment (SNA), coordinated by the Serious Violence Joint Steering Group, which provides a clear evidence base on the scale and nature of serious violence locally.
