Practice Community and Practice Mapping
Practice Mapping
As part of the VKPP’s mission we work collaboratively with both internal and with external stakeholders to understand and map the current picture, interventions and strategic approaches used to address vulnerability nationally.
We promote evidence-based responses in our practice mapping and work to co-ordinate and share knowledge and promising practice insights.
VKPP has facilitated two ‘calls for practice’ to collate promising police practice aimed at addressing vulnerability, resulting in nearly 300 submissions from police and partners. . The practice received from forces has been shared via our Knowledge Hub platform as well as being showcased in regional learning events to police.
To help build an evidence-informed understanding of ‘what works’ when responding to vulnerability, the VKPP works in collaboration with the College of Policing and a number of universities to evaluate some of the most promising submissions.
The VKPP hopes to continue to collate promising practice through further calls for practice, looking to specifically target threats and interventions which have been under-represented in previous calls for practice. We will also gather examples of promising practice through our force SPOC network and peer review work.
