Keeping Londoners safe means being tough on crime, but also tough on the causes of crime - including providing opportunities for young Londoners.

Our record £30 million investment will deliver a new late-night youth club in every London borough.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Growing up, youth clubs made a huge difference to my life.

Our announcement today of a new youth club in every borough will give young Londoners a place to go that’s safe, full of positive opportunities and help them fulfil their potential.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

NEW: Today I’m announcing plans to deliver at least one new late-night youth club in every London borough - the biggest investment in youth clubs ever made by a Mayor.

We’re bringing youth clubs back.

❗ Young people should shape the systems that affect them.

🗣️ Last week, nearly 100 young people shared how to make schools more neuro-inclusive.

🧡 Inclusion means better experiences and fewer absences, suspensions and exclusions.

📉 We are seeing real progress with homicides, knife crime and violence with injury falling in London.

💡Working with @SadiqKhan and communities across London, prevention is contributing to a safer London.

🧡Because violence is preventable, not inevitable.

[London's Violence Reduction Unit @LDN_VRU]

🚀 We've delivered interventions and activities to help over half a million young people stay safe and thrive.

📉 Since @SadiqKhan set us up in 2019, violence, homicides & knife-related hospital admissions of young people have fallen.

💡 Prevention + partnership= real change.

[London's Violence Reduction Unit @LDN_VRU]

Today we were joined by @RealGeoffBarton and teachers to reflect on our influential oracy programme.

After 2 years:
✔️communication gaps narrowed
✔️reductions in behaviour incidents
✔️ schools report fewer suspensions

Boosting oracy works.

@RealGeoffBarton @LDN_VRU Thanks for your insightful and inspiring speech - so enjoyable!

[Geoff Barton @RealGeoffBarton]

An honour to talk to the teachers involved in the superb ‘Talk Matters’ programme which is using #oracy to such powerful effect across London’s schools @LDN_VRU. Read more here: https://t.co/oNQ6BHuwwL

📲The series of viral AI generated posters that promoted 'Red vs Blue school wars' exposed how blurred the lines are between the online world and reality.

❗️Tackling online harms must be a priority in violence reduction.

A lovely @LDN_VRU visit to @godwinschool with @Uma_Kumaran
The impact of @MayorofLondon funding to rights based education @UNICEF_uk so evident in eloquence of pupils.
Great timing to coincide with world book day & fab costumes

[London's Violence Reduction Unit @LDN_VRU]

We joined @Uma_Kumaran and @LibPeck at a visit to @godwinschool to see how it has embedded children's rights in every element of school life.

With our £1.4m funding in @UNICEF_uk, 700 schools are delivering children's rights to increase a sense of belonging for 119,000 pupils.

💬Hear from pupils at Brecknock Primary on why embedding rights in school matters.

🤝With support from @SadiqKhan, we’ve invested £1.4m so London state schools can access UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting Schools Award #RRSA.

#LondonsInclusionCharter is our commitment to keep people safe and boost belonging.

With support from @SadiqKhan and a £1.4m investment in UNICEF UK, it is working to tackle exclusions, suspensions and persistent absenteeism, and having impact.

[London's Violence Reduction Unit @LDN_VRU]

🧡 It takes a village to raise a child.

📍 MyEnds tackles violence & exploitation in 11 London areas, delivering 60,000+ interventions to help keep young people safe.

👏 Thanks to community members, youth workers & parents, we are pushing prevention forward.

[London's Violence Reduction Unit @LDN_VRU]

Violence is complex. There’s no single cause or solution. We reduce risk factors by using evidence, data and insight to build on what works.

Our Evidence Hub is blazing a trail. From evaluations to research.

[London's Violence Reduction Unit @LDN_VRU]

🚨Great news! One year of funding from @ukhomeoffice secured, so we can keep delivering interventions that reduce violence.

💡We’ll invest in youth workers in hospitals and custody suites, supporting young people at critical moments and preventing future harm.
