A roadmap for creating trauma-informed and responsive change: Guidance for organisations, systems and workforces in Scotland

This roadmap helps services and organisations identify and reflect on progress, strengths and opportunities for embedding a trauma-informed and responsive approach across policy and practice.

It is based on evidence, learning and good practice from the Scottish context alongside existing relevant Scottish frameworks and guidance. It draws extensively on what people with lived experience of trauma have said would help improve access to support, reduce re-traumatisation, recognise resilience and support recovery. The resource also draws on what experts by profession and leaders across services/ organisations have told us would support them to implement a trauma-informed and responsive approach.
