ISB1594: Information Sharing to Tackle Violence Minimum Dataset

A small de-identified dataset collected by Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments and shared with local Community Safety Partnerships (CSP), covering all A&E attendances resulting from violent incidents.

About this information standard

ISTV comprises a small de-identified dataset collected by Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments and shared with local Community Safety Partnerships (CSP) on a monthly basis. The data covers all A&E attendances resulting from violent incidents, including:

  • time and date of the incident
  • time and date of arrival in A&E
  • specific location of the incident
  • primary means of assault (for example a weapon or body part used).

The standard was originally approved and published in September 2014.


Updates

15 July 2025

The Information Standard has been re-instated whilst further work is undertaken on ECDS.  Reference to deprecation and retirement of this standard have been removed to prevent confusion
