As a unit, the VRU has been assessing and developing the evidence base to understand how to best support the sector to effectively reduce violence in London. A key gap that's been identified in the VRU's evidence base is the link between going missing and serious violence/teenage homicide. The VRU are considering commissioning further research to explore this link and understand how best to target support. We'd like to meet with you if: - You/your organisation specialises in working with young people (under the age of 25) who go missing in London - You/your organisation has research interests that include young people (under the age of 25) who go missing and/or the links between going missing and violence/exploitation The aim of the session will be to support the VRU to understand what a research specification might look like for London and how it could best complement the existing research. ### Date: 30/03/2022 ### Time: 10:30-12:00 Online Event: Microsoft Teams meeting link will be circulated to attendees. Do please share this with any colleagues (across your organisation or the wider sector) you think may be interested in attending - although we kindly ask that attendance is limited to no more than 2 colleagues per organisation. ### Please RSVP to VRUCommissioning@london.gov.uk quoting your name, organisation and "Missing Research Engagement Session" by the 23rd March 2022.
