Trauma Informed Systems Change Get Involved!

Trauma Informed Practice tags

Task and Finish Groups

In May 2024 we signed the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) trauma informed pledge, making an active commitment to embed trauma-informed practice across all of our services.

As part of the systems change programme we need your knowledge, experience, ideas and expertise at the following discussion groups. The meetings will take place on line, please share far and wide as we would like as many people to contribute as possible. We are particularly keen to hear the voices of people with lived experience.

To attend a task and finish group please let us know which you would like to attend by emailing: traumainformed@n-somerset.gov.uk

We also have a multi-agency Community of Practice which shares learning, good practice and bite-size learning opportunities.
Please contact: traumainformed@n-somerset.gov.uk to join the mailing list.
