Serious Violence Sample Clauses

Serious Violence. In 2019/20 the Home Office ran a consultation on a new legal duty to support a multi-agency approach to preventing and tackling serious violence. The outcome was a decision to bring forward primary legislation to create a new duty on organisations to collaborate, where possible through existing partnership structures, to prevent and reduce serious violence. In addition, there was an intention to amend the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 to ensure serious violence is an explicit priority for Community Safety Partnerships, in recognition of the important role of CSPs. The new duties have been progressing through Parliament as part of the ‘Policing, Crime and Sentencing Bill’, which was agreed by Parliament on 1st March 2022 and is now awaiting Royal assent. Although the legislation has not yet been introduced Community Safety partners are already working together to address serious violence as appropriate and awaits the introduction of the new legislation.
