Scottish anti violence campaign
A commitment to join forces to tackle violence in Scotland was made today by more than 250 senior representatives from police, health, education, social work and other organisations. A strategic conference - An Alliance for a Safer Future - was held in Glasgow with the aim of increasing public awareness of the need for violence reduction and launching a 12-month anti-violence campaign under the banner of Safer Scotland. An Action on Violence website also went live today, providing best practice examples of violence reduction initiatives from around the country.
