2024-2025 Highlights
• The design and delivery of our Professional Boundaries guidance and learning tools for colleagues, which supported Trauma Informed Practice by promoting greater understanding and consistency across the organisation.

What’s in the Future?
• Our Trauma-Informed Practice Action Plan involves consistently embedding trauma-informed approaches throughout our work.
• The Heritage Project will continue to support young people to explore their life experiences, heritage, connections, and relationships with one another, helping to build their understanding, identity, and shared perspectives.
• Music workshops with young parents will help build nurturing, learning, and confident relationships with their babies and children.
• We will continue our work to raise awareness of Technology Facilitated Abuse by sharing resources with young people about healthy relationships. We’ll also focus on building relationships with specialist organisations to strengthen support and awareness in this area.
• We will implement a new programme, Risks Outside the Home, working with young people, local authorities, and other organisations to support healthy relationships, reduce risk, and encourage and improve information sharing.
