We are delighted to share a new resource from one of our learning partners, the Resilience Learning Partnership (RLP). Together with partners from the National Trauma Transformation Programme, they have created a Roadmap for Creating Trauma-Informed and Responsive Change.

The National Trauma Transformation Programme comprises Resilience Learning Partnership, Scottish Government, COSLA, NHS Education for Scotland and the Improvement Service.

RLP supports the National Trauma Transformation Programme with the development of the mechanisms that help facilitate people with lived experience of trauma being meaningfully involved in the design and delivery (where possible) of services

This resource is designed to be used flexibly and independently by services and organisations across all sectors of the workforce in Scotland, to help identify and reflect on progress, strengths, and opportunities for embedding a trauma-informed and responsive approach across policy and practice.  

The roadmap draws on what people with lived experience of trauma have said would help improve access to support, reduce re-traumatisation, recognise resilience and support recovery, and has input from leaders across services/ organisations have said support them to implement a trauma-informed and responsive approach.
