<p>The Government does not intend to convene a COBRA meeting at this time to discuss
knife crime. The Prime Minister hosted a Serious Youth Violence Summit at 10 Downing
Street on 1 to 4 April, at which she brought together victims’ representatives, young
people, community leaders, charities, faith leaders, businesses, police, health professionals,
Ministers and others to focus on what more can be done.</p><p>The new Taskforce will
be chaired by the Prime Minister, supported by a new, dedicated, serious violence
team in the Cabinet Office, to support cross-departmental action on serious violence.
This will ensure that there is a clear focus right across Government, and the necessary
coordination across Departments, to ensure that everything possible is being done
to tackle knife crime and serious violence.</p>
