and 2025

Content

RESOLVED
 
KEY DECISION
 

That the
Executive:
 
a)            
Adopted the Northamptonshire Serious Violence Duty
Strategy 2023-25; and
 

b)            
Delegated authority to the Executive Member for
Housing, Communities and Levelling Up in consultation with the
Director of Public Health and Wellbeing to ensure the strategy is
implemented through the Northamptonshire Serious Violence
Prevention Partnership.

 

 

Reason for Recommendations – to ensure that the Council, as
a specified partner, meets the requirements of the Serious Violence
Duty.

 

Alternative Options Considered – The only
alternative option would be not to adopt the strategy. This would
have significant negative impact on our ability to fulfil all parts
of the duty and our role in ensuring equitable investment of the
Home Office funding for North Northamptonshire would be
compromised.
