Draft Programmes Onsite Visit

Draft programmes –Onsite Visit.

The following outlines a draft programme for the proposed London site visit by Professor David Kennedy.

In the Reducing Serious Violence in London proposal the National Network for Safe Communities, agreed to London site visits. The proposal outlined that these site visits would be an opportunity to ‘assess implementation progress; meet with stakeholders and guide partners through implementation changes on the ground.’

The site visit will also provide an opportunity for the three London boroughs, regional partners, MOPAC and Trident to look back at the work undertaken in the last six months and ensure that local Shield implementation plans remain aligned to the GVI model.

A proposed draft programme for the onsite visits is below but will be subject to change depending on feedback from Professor Kennedy, the three London pilot boroughs, regional partners and Trident colleagues.
