These reports are from the serious violence research programme, which is co-led by the Department for Education and Youth Endowment Fund.

The programme aims to better understand how systems of support may protect young people from, or expose them to, involvement in serious youth violence.

The role of systems support report collates evidence and insight on vulnerability to serious violence and the role the system plays.

The serious violence foundational system mapping report considers how the current system is perceived to work.

A systems evidence and gap map, which highlights where relevant research is available, is also available on the Youth Endowment Fund website.
