Colleagues from ACE Hub Wales, Trauma-Informed Wales, the Violence Prevention Team, Bangor University and Ethnic Minorities & Youth Support Team (EYST) will collaboratively host three panel sessions, and two marketplaces of ideas sessions will be offered.
Following highly successful conferences in North America, Africa, Europe and Australia, the 2026 global event in Leeds presents a unique opportunity to spotlight global research and world-leading practice across law enforcement and public health. The 2026 overarching theme will be vulnerability, policing and public health.
The conference will be open to law enforcement and public health agencies, national and local governments, relevant research bodies, academic institutes, policy makers as well as the commercial sector and other partner organisations. Bringing these diverse communities and perspectives together, the conference presents an ideal space for sharing and learning about new approaches, instigating and developing real change in practice, based on the best available evidence internationally.
