    Abstract

    In December 2020, the Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit (GM VRU) commissioned a hospital-based ‘Navigator’ violence reduction pilot programme in four hospitals. The Navigator programme became operational in May 2021 and was initially funded until April 2022, prior to being recommissioned until March 2025. The Navigator programme seeks to support those young people (aged 10-25) who attend or have been admitted to an adult or paediatric Emergency Department (ED) with injuries or hospital ward resulting from violence. It aims, through offering support at a ‘teachable moment’, to help young people to cope and recover from their experiences, to prevent retaliation, the escalation of violence and / or repeat victimisation, exploitation. and to reduce Where on-going needs are identified by Navigators, the programme endeavours to support young people in the community and refer them to other services for ongoing support.
