Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
A paradigm was needed across Greater
Manchester to ensure a coordinated population approach to reduce
children and families exposure to adverse childhood experiences
(ACEs) and, to prevent or mitigate the consequences of trauma and
ACEs by becoming a Trauma and ACE responsive city-region.
Trauma impacts every element of life and can affect a persons
ability to engage in society meaningfully, it can present as
distressed or challenging behaviour and can ultimately affect
relationships, engagement, employment and the ability to contribute
to society in a positive and meaningful way, this is not inevitable
and the way systems, staff and communities respond can have
protective and positive effects.
This programme includes:
- The development of co-produced test-and-learn approaches which
can support community resilience now (focused on trauma arising
from or compounded by the covid pandemic) and in the future
- Collaborative approaches to sharing existing knowledge and
practices across the city region via a Greater Manchester community
of practice hub; and
- Support for skills and competency development and CPD across
professions and service areas, including community partners.
