Description

North Northamptonshire Council is seeking quotations for the provision of a Trauma Informed Practice Training Programme. The programme is to support our staff in understanding trauma and trauma informed practice to ultimately improve the lives and experiences of colleagues and individuals in our communities and improving health and social outcomes.

This program will be aimed at North Northamptonshire Council colleagues and key partner organisations in the North Northamptonshire area.

The programme aims to promote change, reflection on self and the role of others, critical thinking and analysis, robust and accountable decision-making, partnership working and empowerment of others through practice. The emphasis is on providing helpful and effective support based upon sound evidence and research.

The purpose of the training on trauma informed approaches is not to treat trauma-related difficulties but provide staff with the awareness and ability to recognise the signs of trauma in service users, families and staff and others involved with the organisation and make adaptations based upon this.

Scope

To deliver a trauma informed practice training programme.
The first tier will be a half day introduction to trauma and trauma informed practice. This will be accessible to a wide range of staff within the Council and aim to give a strong foundational understanding of what trauma is, its impacts and prevalence and introduce trauma informed practice principles.

The second tier will be aimed more specifically at those within management and leadership positions and will be a full days training. This will build on the knowledge gained from the first tier and focus on applying key principles within a whole organisational approach to trauma informed practice. Attendees should leave these sessions with the skills needed to implement change within their work areas.

In addition to these training sessions, we will require the development and delivery of a train-the-trainer program. This will be aimed at training the Council's current Learning and Development team, upskilling their trainers to confidently deliver the two tiered training sessions. This will be a 2 day training.
