I'm super grateful to Mcr City Council for developing this initiative as the results are beginning to show, and ( at last ) this is turning heads - see below I'm even more grateful to Gareth Nixon, the lead for this project here in Manchester. I was fortunate enough to meet with him again yesterday as he took the time from his busy schedule to hear where we are up to in Bury.

A Blackburn with Darwen study found that almost half (47%) of adults across the Borough have suffered at least one ACE, with 12% of adults in Blackburn with Darwen having suffered four or more ACEs. The study has shown that the more ACEs individuals experience in childhood, the greater their risk of a wide range of health-harming behaviours and diseases as an adult. The ACE animation below tells the story of a young boy growing up, and how his experience with ACEs could affect his life...

We now need the right climate in the workplace for survivors to talk openly and with full confidence so that their employer can provide appropriate support.

There are of course lots of examples of fine work going on around ACEs, but there are also aspects of the ACE movement that make me feel a little uncomfortable. I worry that what is clearly a well-intentioned desire to just do something might not do good and could cause harm. My concerns are absolutely not meant as a criticism of the motivation and altruism underlying the ACEs movement, but as a cautionary nudge to make sure that, in our enthusiasm to do good, we don’t run before we can walk.
