Final chance to have your say on serious violence consultation

“Serious violence can affect anyone and the consequences are often devastating and life-changing – whether you are a victim, a relative, loved one, friend or witness.

“We are determined to prevent and reduce serious violence to stop more families suffering such heartache and harm.

“To do that, it’s vital we understand people’s perceptions of violence and how we can make them feel safer. This is a chance for people across Merseyside to have their voices heard.

“By taking part, you will help inform the work we do in the future to protect families and communities, and I would encourage everyone, to please have your say.”

Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet Member with responsibility for Community Safety, Councillor Laura Robertson-Collins, said: 

“As the tragedies we have experienced as a region in the past few years show, violence has a devastating ripple effect causing harm to individuals, families, communities and our society.

“We want to make sure that everyone who lives, studies and works on Merseyside has the opportunity to be heard in relation to their feelings of safety, experiences of crime and sense of community.

“This is a chance for you to have your voice heard in a way which will directly influence how we work with you to address issues of safety and violence in your communities.”
