Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many meetings the Ending Gang Violence and Exploitation Forum has held since it was established; and how many representatives of (a) local authorities and (b) other public bodies have been represented at each of those meetings.

The Ending Gang Violence and Exploitation Forum (EGVE) has over 200 members representing a range of organisations.

The EGVE Forum has met on four occasions since July 2016 and each meeting has been attended by over 60 members. We do not hold information on the exact breakdown of representatives from each sector in attendance at each meeting. However each meeting has been attended by members from local authorities, the police, and voluntary sector.
