Our submission focuses on the Government priority to ensure strong and innovative public services. We call on the Government to:
1. Ensure staff within public services are working with an effective understanding of trauma
2. Ensure Government Departments have evidence of how their policies are affecting those with experience of trauma
3. Invest in public sector delivery that emphasises strengths-based approaches rather than deficit-based working
4. Work with people with lived experience of multiple disadvantage to develop more employment opportunities within public services and the voluntary and community sector
5. Build on the success of the Everybody In programme by requiring evidence of effective partnership working and co-production to access Government funding
