TheSAFEtaskforces programme aims to reduce childrens vulnerability to the harms of serious violence by supporting them to engage in education.

SAFEtaskforces are led by local groups of secondary schools, working with partners. They provide access to the right evidence-based support and services for children in their area. This support focuses on:

• supporting children with their wellbeing and behaviour
• improving childrens attendance at school
• keeping children engaged with their education

The guidance on evidence informed interventions:

• sets out the evidence on tackling serious youth violence
• explains how to select and put in place interventions
