Mentors in Violence Prevention

Torbay Council sought to purchase the delivery and co-ordination of the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) Programme alongside education providers in Torbay, with a focus on children in key stages 2 and 3. The Torbay Community Safety Partnership made the decision to allocate a proportion of the funding allocated to Torbay to implement the Mentors in Violence Prevention Programme in education settings, to improve culture and support safe and effective challenging of, and speaking out against, all forms of bullying, violence and abusive behaviour in a safe and appropriate way.
