As part of its community engagement efforts RISE Projects recently organised a community discussion on serious youth violence with local parents and key statutory stakeholders to see how serious youth violence can be reduced within the Somali community. More than ever now, it’s become an urgent priority for a seldom heard group such as the Somali community to work closely with statutory services providers such as MPS Haringey and Haringey Council to find solutions to the problem serious youth violence and knife crime.
