Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership

Merseyside Schools Network

Primary school pupils from Dovecot Primary School with their hands in air

The Merseyside Schools Network was established to share learning and resources related to violence prevention, and to identify opportunities for collaboration on new interventions, training and campaigns.

The Network is open to professionals from schools and educational settings, as well as external partners across Merseyside, working to support those organisations to prevent and reduce violence.

It will meet regularly during the school year and sessions will provide the opportunity to:

  • Share high-quality, trauma-informed learning and resources;
  • Access new interventions, training and campaigns;
  • Gain insight and best practice from regional and national experts;
  • Connect, collaborate and find solutions to challenges in education
