This paper defines trauma-informed service delivery in Australian child/family welfare, emphasising responses to trauma's effects, challenges in implementation, and the need for consistent frameworks and interventions.
The framework outlines the terms, principles and practice domains associated with trauma, contains practical advice for working with children and young people, individuals and families and provides an example of trauma-informed practice.
The framework guides system-wide change by outlining principles, implementation domains, strategic objectives and behaviour change required to provide integrated trauma-informed care. The principles of integrated trauma-informed care are addressed across all domains of the NSW Health system, including governance and leadership, training and workforce development, policy, monitoring and quality assurance, engagement and involvement, financing, cross-sector collaboration, physical environment, quality service provision, and evaluation and technology.
This framework develops a working concept of trauma and a trauma-informed approach, as well as a shared understanding of these concepts across an array of service systems and stakeholder groups.
