For too long, the national response to knife crime has lacked the scale and cohesion this threat demands. This week, we published "Protecting Lives, Building Hope", our plan to halve knife crime and to right this wrong - but we did not achieve this on our own. Driving real change around this issue demands input from every part of the system. The contributions of our Coalition to Tackle Knife Crime and their ongoing commitment and dedication to preventing violence cannot be understated. Many have drawn on their own personal tragedy to ensure other families never have to feel the pain of losing a loved one to knife crime. Their insight has proved invaluable in pursuit of our mission to tackle this issue throughout the country. This plan goes further than ever before to ensure young people get the best start in life and to stop those at risk from turning to knife crime. We know tackling violence will not be easy. But in our mission to protect lives and build hope, we will be unrelenting.
