Minutes:

Councillor Jasbir Jaspal presented the Wolverhampton's Tackling Violence and Exploitation Strategy for endorsement. The Strategy reflected the national shift towards a public health approach to violence and tackling all forms of serious violence and exploitation in a holistic manner. The Strategy addressed all related issues together rather than individually, namely child sexual exploitation, child criminal exploitation, modern slavery and gangs and youth violence. The model of delivery would focus on prevention, preparation, protection and progressing enforcement action against those involved in violence and exploitation.

 

Resolved:

 

That the implementation of Wolverhampton’s Tackling Violence and Exploitation Strategy, as approved by the Safer Wolverhampton Partnership Board, Safeguarding Children Board and Safeguarding Adults Board, be endorsed and supported.
