About us

The Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University is a WHO Collaborating Centre for Violence Prevention and works with the World Health Organization to support and develop violence prevention in the UK and internationally. In partnership with the North West Regional Director of Public Health and the Regional Director of the Health Protection Agency, the Centre acts as UK Focal Point to the WHO for Violence and Injury Prevention. The Centre also Chairs the Violence Prevention Alliance Working Group on Youth Violence, Alcohol and Nightlife.

Within the Centre for Public Health, we conduct original research, systematic literature reviews, and maintain intelligence systems for measuring and monitoring violence. In partnership with the North West Public Health Observatory, which has the national public health intelligence lead for violence, we seek to promote and facilitate a public health approach to violence prevention.

In addition to violence prevention, the Centre for Public Health has a broad research, intelligence and teaching portfolio that specialises also in alcohol and drug use, sexual health, environmental health and public health intelligence. For further information, visit www.cph.org.uk
