Our sustained focus on being tough on crime and its complex causes is working. This includes investing in intervention and prevention work led by my Violence Reduction Unit, and supporting the Met by more than doubling our investment in policing.

👏Great to see @mayoroflondon.bsky.social and @london-vru.bsky.social investing in sports activities for young people across the capital. Especially important during school holidays, when young people can be more vulnerable to exploitation and violence.
Show PostI’ve long called for dangerous weapons like these to be banned. This government is acting where the last one failed. I’ll continue to work with partners to tackle knife crime and support @london-vru.bsky.social's early intervention work to divert young people away from violence.
Show Post60% of young offenders have speech and language difficulties. My @london-vru.bsky.social is reaching children at the start of primary school to support them to improve their communication skills, with a big impact: 98% of children have closed the gap to their peers.
Show PostTwo-thirds of children at risk of exclusion have speech and communication needs. My @london-vru.bsky.social is addressing this with oracy interventions in primary school. In just one year, it has led to 98% of children narrowing the gap to their peers and 60% meeting vocabulary standards.
