Is tackling violence about teachable moments? Enduring relationships? Or both?

Is the idea of a teachable, reachable moment real? Or is it only through developing long trusting relationships over time that young Londoners are able to move forward to better lives? Perhaps it’s a combination of both?

On 2nd July we hosted a webinar where we addressed this topic and discussed the broader issues that young Londoners face.

We heard directly from the young Londoners that Safer London works with, on what they feel are the current issues and the power of relationships with trusted professionals.

Contributions from professionals from partner organisations including the NHS, Khulisa and St Giles Trust; as well as Sophie Linden, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime in London, provided insight from across the sector.

A Safer London Support Worker took centre stage to discuss the issues from their perspective, drawing on real experiences they’ve encountered in their practice.
