Abstract

This article focuses on how trauma informed principles can be translated into tangible practice in residential care in the UK. It suggests that the core components of trauma informed care as identified by Hanson and Lang (2016) can be used as a framework to organise practice and ensure services are adhering to trauma informed practice. This includes using guidance from approaches such as the neuro-sequential model of therapeutics (Perry, 2006). The article focuses on how trauma informed principles and components have been turned into tangible practice in residential care services in the USA, Norway and Sweden and suggests practical steps practitioners can take in becoming trauma informed.
