Responsive System Design
Processes and programmes meant to bring about positive change within the organisation and encourage ways of working that are trauma informed. People in the whole system can easily access a range of ways to live well, which are specially designed to treat trauma, for the length of time that is right for them.

3. Staff at all levels have adequate trauma-informed skills and are supported to work in a trauma-informed way.
4. A Trauma-informed approach is explicit in the commissioning framework for our service.
5. Staff have access to peer support with lived experience of trauma.
6. Service-users who need help can get help early without being passed around (pathways are clear and comprehensive to cover a variety of needs).

Developing and embedding a bespoke Trauma Informed Care clinical model
As with most forensic services our care delivery was largely informed by the medical model and related infra-structure such as the Mental Health Act and Ministry of Justice. There was increasing frustration that this model failed to match the complexity of our service users and the knowledge staff held around the lifelong impact of trauma.
