A colleague of mine -- here in New Zealand!! -- recently passed the attached PDF, from Scotland, onto me. It concerns a relatively recent, and still developing, proposed trauma training framework. This might be helpful to others wishing to go further in introducing TIC into their own services. Naturally, it needs to incorporate culture-specific additions or modifications to suit your local conditions. It includes a consideration of ACEs. The document as it is likely has broad application. Some of the background to the document is discussed here:
proposed National Trauma Training Framework -- Scotland 2017
That page does contain a couple of "typos" ISD-11 = ICD-11; due for publication in 2018 (been delayed, progressively, for a few years now) -- perhaps others -- let me know!
From the document: "It has been argued that trauma should be ‘everyone’s business’ and that, as members of the Scottish Workforce, everyone has a role to play in understanding and responding to people affected by trauma. This doesn’t mean that everyone needs to be a trauma expert - we know that different expertise and skills are required to support people’s recovery – but instead that all workers, in the context of their own role and work remit, have a unique and essential trauma-informed role to play in responding to people who are affected by trauma” (p.7).
The levels are:
- Trauma informed (all)
- Trauma skilled (most)
- Trauma enhanced (some)
- Trauma specialist (few)
