Trauma-informed approach to Adult Support and Protection: What is it? (Renfrewshire)

Description

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 briefing sets out how principles of trauma-informed practice (safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration and empowerment) can work alongside ASP processes. The material in this briefing has been adapted from the National Trauma Training Programme specifically for an ASP context. There is also an accompanying briefing from Renfrewshire on a trauma-informed approach to non-engagement.
