The programme would be specifically designed for those within our communities, providing the expertise to better manage initiatives to reduce serious violence, build networks, and ensure a safe, just and inclusive West Yorkshire.

Fully funded and free of charge, it would require a cohort of individuals available to attend modular training sessions (online and face to face) across a three-month period and could include both daytime and evening commitments within local hubs.

Themes cover:

• Understanding yourself as a leader
• Asset Based Community Development
• Project Management and Impact measurement
• Leading complex change
• Communications and Influencing

With this in mind, the Violence Reduction Partnership are initially requesting expressions of interest with responses to be sent to vrp@westyorks-ca.gov.uk by Monday 8 January 2024.
