Trauma-informed practice is a model essential to Adult Support and Protection. It is grounded in, and directed by, an understanding of how trauma affects someone's neurological, biological, psychological and social development. This 7-page briefing particularly considers the issue of 'non-engagement' through a trauma-informed lens. It works with the idea that behaviour - such as non-engagement with services - is a form of communication. The briefing supports professionals to use curiosity and empathy to build connection and create safety in their work. It accompanies the more general briefing from Renfrewshire on trauma-informed practice in Adult Support and Protection.
