Violence Prevention and Reduction qualifications and CPD

Last updated Friday 22nd December 2023

NHS England has commissioned The Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) and Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) to develop a comprehensive accredited educational pathway, to build on the work of NHS England’s Violence Prevention and Reduction Programme and the publication of the NHS Violence Prevention and Reduction Standard.

This pathway consists of accredited qualifications at Levels 3 & 4 (RSPH), and Level 7 CPD (LJMU) which has been co-developed with partners from across the NHS to meet the training needs of Violence Prevention and Reduction leads employed by Trusts, as well as other members of the NHS workforce who are considered to be working in ‘at risk’ environments.

The pathway takes a public health approach to understand and prevent the root causes of violence and abuse, and equips individuals to support and/or lead on the design and implementation of appropriate principles of practice in responding to incidents involving violence and abuse with a focus on:

  • individual-specific factors such as trauma and distress, and
  • structural, environmental, and societal factors, such as the impact of health inequalities and the behaviour of others.

All places have been fully funded by NHS England and applications are now open
