The Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Violence Reduction Alliance campaigns are part of a wider approach by the Staffordshire Commissioner’s Office to reduce violence more broadly, using funding secured from the government’s Safer Streets Fund and Safety of Women at Night Fund.

The ‘Make No Excuses’ campaign focuses on the harassment of women in public places, using a thought-provoking video which highlights the harm caused by unwanted behaviours. The Violence Reduction Alliance is made up of a number of partners across the third sector and public services, such as the Staffordshire Commissioner’s Office, Staffordshire Police, Staffordshire County Council and Stoke-on-Trent City Council.
