Your Safety Matters

We Asked

People across Merseyside were asked to help shape a new strategy with the aim of reducing serious violence across our region.

We asked about:

• What are your views on the problem of violence?
• What causes violence in our communities?
• How does violence affect you and your community?
• What can we do to reduce violence?

You Said

169 people responded to the Your Safety Matters survey. The report can be viewed in the documents section here.

We Did

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner are developing a Serious Violence Response Strategy (a document which sets out a plan of where efforts will be focused). This strategy will describe how serious violence in Merseyside will be reduced. Your views will help shape this strategy, which will be published on Council, Police, Fire Service, NHS and Probation Service websites across Merseyside in January 2024.
