Quality Mark Overview

The Working with Trauma Quality Mark recognises organisations who can evidence they meet a robust, accessible, and supportive set of standards for working with trauma. It has been developed in partnership with Dr Alexandria Bradley from Leeds Beckett University and peer reviewed by critical friends at The Nelson Trust and Tina Vink from Together Women. It has been developed through an extensive analysis of existing global standards, principles, and values associated with trauma informed working practices.

Bronze: Trauma Aware. An understanding and awareness of trauma and its impact and organisational plans in place ready to implement trauma informed practice.

Silver: Trauma Informed. Trauma informed working is implemented across the culture, practice and environment of the organisation and individual needs and well-being are prioritised.

Gold: Trauma Responsive. Extensive and embedded trauma informed working practices. It prioritises user voice in strategic decision-making and is a centre of excellence

Organisations can apply for an award at Bronze, Silver or Gold level. Please note however, that Silver must be achieved before applying for Gold level.
