An evaluation conducted in Cardiff and Swansea, explores the Wales Violence Prevention Unit’s (VPU) whole-system approach to violence prevention, which provides key learning and considerations for the development of local violence prevention partnerships.
Conducted by the Public Health Institute, Liverpool John Moore’s University, the evaluation provides important learning on how to implement violence prevention activity on a local level to suit local needs whilst also building structures that enable this work to influence the wider system.
The evaluation consists of two parts, with one evaluation focusing on the whole-systems approach in Swansea, and one in Cardiff, totaling four full reports. To support partners in drawing from these evaluations, the VPU has condensed the key findings and recommendations into one summary report.
