Serious Violence Strategy

Do you need to report a crime? Go to the Metropolitan Police crime reporting page.

The 2022 Police, Crime Courts and Sentencing Act places a statutory duty on all local authorities to comply with the Serious Violence Duty.

It is a legal requirement that makes councils and local services responsible for working together to prevent and reduce serious violence.

You can find out more about the Serious Violence Duty on the GOV.UK website.

Havering is required to maintain a Serious Violence Strategy, setting out how the council and its partners are working to reduce violence.
