Time for Action

Equipping Young People for the Future and Preventing Violence

Time for Action sets out the Mayor’s vision for a programme of action for Equipping Young People for the Future and Preventing Violence. The proposals are intended to complement work being done by other agencies, in particular London boroughs that have lead responsibilities for children’s services, and to focus on the value the Mayor can add on these issues.

This call to partners invited feedback on the Mayor's proposals to improve youth opportunities and prevent violence through a programme for action. The Mayor sought views through a variety of channels, including targeted online questionnaires, workshops, and events such as the London Schools and Black Child Conference and the African Diaspora Conference both in February 2009.

We are now working to implement the proposals with our partners.
