About Violence Prevention SCIO

A Scottish charity dedicated to health and education through proactive violence prevention. We believe real prevention means building a culture of respect, developing psychological resilience, and giving people practical skills to handle conflict.

We are a collaborative organisation. We work through:

  • Networking — connecting organisations, community groups, and public institutions around violence prevention.
  • Advocacy — engaging policymakers at all levels to promote proactive prevention.
  • Evidence-Based Programmes — supporting and promoting high-quality, effective violence prevention initiatives.
