The Serious Violence Taskforce was established in 2018 to oversee the implementation of the Serious Violence Strategy. It last met on 26 June 2019 and the Government is very grateful for the work of the Taskforce which brought together Ministers and key partners.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Prime Minister and Home Secretary are driving a united government response to ensure we use every lever at our disposal to fight crime. To effectively support this, we have redesigned our governance and decided to discontinue the Serious Violence Task Force.<\/p>

<\/p>

In January 2020, the Prime Minister announced a new Cabinet Committee on crime and justice \u2013 the Crime and Justice Taskforce \u2013 with serious violence being a priority area of focus. The Crime and Justice Taskforce is chaired by the Prime Minister, with core membership from the Home Secretary (deputy chair); Chancellor of the Exchequer; Secretary of State for Justice; Attorney General; and the Minister for Crime and Policing. Other government departments including Department for Education and Department of Health and Social Care attend the Crime and Justice Taskforce, depending on the agenda of each meeting.<\/p>

<\/p>

We have also established comprehensive governance arrangements to make sure the ambitions of the Prime Minister\u2019s Task Force are delivered on the ground \u2013 including the National Policing Board chaired by the Home Secretary.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4495", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kit Malthouse"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North West Hampshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kit Malthouse"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-09-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-09-06T10:11:50.443Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-07-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Serious Violence Taskforce"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reason her Department disbanded the Serious Violence Taskforce; and whether her Department plans to reconvene that Taskforce.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4510", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Helen Hayes"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Dulwich and West Norwood"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Helen Hayes"} ], "uin" : "36697"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1236683", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1236683/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Serious Violence Taskforce was established in 2018 to oversee the implementation of the Serious Violence Strategy. It last met on 26 June 2019.<\/p>

The Government remains incredibly grateful for the work of the Taskforce which brought together Ministers, senior leaders and key partners. The Taskforce influenced additional action and investment in this area, for example through the creation of the new £200m Youth Endowment Fund, the consultation on the new duty on agencies to reduce serious violence and the launch of the Independent Review of Drugs Misuse.<\/p>

The Government\u2019s Manifesto set out an ambitious package of reforms to deliver on the people\u2019s priorities and tackle violent crime and safeguard people\u2019s streets and neighbourhoods.
