Using data to inform local decision-making: Area Leaders Programme

Summary

The Area Leaders Programme (ALP) is a programme for multi-agency violence prevention partnerships in local authority areas. The programme aims to equip area leaders with the knowledge, tools and partnerships needed to deliver effective, evidence-informed violence prevention strategies. It is designed to complement the government’s Young Futures Prevention Partnership programme and meet the requirements of the Serious Violence Duty.

• Identifying core datasets and data flows within each area
• Strengthening multi-agency data sharing, access and integration
