Somerset Trauma Informed Network - Somerset Safeguarding Children Partnership
What is the Network?
The Somerset Trauma Informed Network is a group of individuals and organisations who are committed to a journey of becoming more trauma informed in their practice and policy.
The Network allows practitioners from a range of organisations and diverse backgrounds to link, share best practice and learn together to create a Somerset-wide culture of practice. We aim to build awareness about trauma informed and shame sensitive practice across the workforce, to help to achieve positive change within families and organisations.
We would like to thank the students of Yeovil College, Somerset for co-producing our logo and for over 200 practitioners across different agencies in Somerset who voted to decide the name and aims of our network.
Free Training for Somerset Education Settings
Training to support a workforce that is able to recognise when individuals are affected by trauma and adversity
Somerset local area partnerships and organisations are working together to achieve a shared vision – that all individuals in Somerset who access help and engage with services receive support that is trauma informed.
Trauma informed approaches recognise the prevalence of trauma in people’s lives and acknowledge the potential effects that this can have on individuals and their families, networks, and communities.
A Trauma Informed Somerset means having a workforce that is able to recognise when individuals are affected by trauma and adversity and then able to respond in ways that are supportive and prevent further harm.
In relation to educational settings, often a whole-school approach is crucial and supports all children and young people.
In order to support educational settings on the journey to becoming more trauma-informed and embedding effective practice, a selection of resources, support, and training packages are being developed and offered, these pages will be updated regularly.
