Councillor Haydon (Cabinet member for Customer Focus and Community Safety) introduced the report on Plymouth as a Trauma-informed City.

The report sets out:

The commitment of the trauma informed support for the city;

The complexity of the problem, which is often hidden, and how recognising and responding to this compassionately is important;

How to foster the right environment to make a difference and support people to prevent them being victimised throughout their whole lives due to childhood trauma;

That Plymouth is an early adopter and at the forefront of this ground breaking approach

After a short discussion and consideration of the report Cabinet agreed to support all recommendations as set out in the report.
