Since the beginning of July 2018, Community Links has hosted eight Community Conversations on serious youth violence. These events were designed to test a new way of engaging with the community to gather feedback and proposals on the causes of, and possible solutions to, recent increases in serious youth violence across London.

This report details the findings from these Conversations along with key policy recommendations for local and national government, communities, the social sector and the private sector. By taking these recommendations seriously, Community Links believes that engaged organisations can generate a systemic shift towards a preventative, cross-sector, and whole-community-based approach to tackling serious youth violence.
