How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — An approach that recognises the prevalence of trauma and adapts practice to avoid re-traumatisation.
- What it means — Trauma-informed practice recognises that many people encountered by public services have experienced significant trauma. A trauma-informed approach does not require practitioners to be therapists — it requires awareness of how trauma affects behaviour and communication, adaptation of the environment and approach to minimise triggers, and a commitment to transparency and collaboration. Key principles include: safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. In Children's Services, this is relevant for UASC, families with domestic abuse histories, and parents who were themselves in care. In youth justice, trauma-informed practice is central to understanding the ACE profiles common among young people in the system.
