Trauma informed services in schools
Trauma informed care aims to develop different thinking process so that children
and adults are less likely to ‘flip’ into the fight/flight type response that is
associated with threat and stress.
Examples in the South West include:
• ‘Thrive Approach’ commissioned in Devon and Plymouth
• ‘Mindful Emotion Coaching’ commissioned in
Somerset and North Somerset
• Emotion Coaching in Wiltshire, Swindon and
Bath and North East Somerset

Making Every Adult
Matter
“In every local area
people with multiple
needs and exclusions are
living chaotic lives and
facing premature death
because as a society we
fail to understand and
coordinate the support
they need”.
1. Mental Health – To review mental health pathways to ensure that our mental services are ACE informed and all interventions include ACE screening. Enabling mental health practitioners to have a clear dialogue on ACEs and the services that are available.

Workshop 1 –
the business case for action
• What are the improved outcomes that could be achieved
through focusing on these critical ACEs?
• How does your organisation contribute to identifying and
tackling these vulnerabilities?
Workshop 2 –
A single view of the truth
• What do we need to do to effectively identify the
“vulnerable/at risk”?
• What information do we need to share to identify vulnerable
individuals for intervention, and trends to identify preventative
commissioning opportunities?
• What information/data should we monitor and hold ourselves
accountable for delivery?
Workshop 3 –
• What will we do differently to act on this understanding, in
improving outcomes and preventing harm?
• Identify 4 priority things that can be done and who would
need to be involved. How will we coordinate our efforts across
partnership governance?
