Serious Violence Duty Data Sharing Requirements
Background
The Serious Violence Duty in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 requires local partnerships to complete a Strategic Needs Assessment to understand how violence is affecting their communities, and design a response through a Violence Reduction Strategy.
Meeting the Serious Violence Duty requires sharing statistical and personal data between partners on a regular basis to:
- identify the issues and needs of the community.
- develop approaches to reducing serious violence in the community.
- monitor the effectiveness of any violence reduction strategy.
LOTI makes this presentation available to assist London Community Safety Partnerships and it describes the London Data Sharing Agreement landscape. However, non-London organisations may find it a useful review of responsibilities and approaches to delivering the Serious Violence Duty.
Who should use it?
- Information Governance teams
- Community Safety teams and partners, such as the police
- Data Leaders
Aims
- Describe the relationship between the Serious Violence Duty, and Community Safety responsibilities from the Crime & Disorder Act.
- Highlight the data protection and data sharing requirements.
- Propose approaches to meeting the responsibilities.
