Strategy

In 2019, Public Health in partnership with Better Start Bradford embarked on a journey to create a new districtwide strategy. The ATR programme is working to reduce the prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences and buffer the impact of them by intervening early and developing trauma informed services. This is being done in partnership with the wider system, community, including people with lived experience so that we can articulate prioritise in a meaningful way. The ATR strategy has three principle aims for the first 3 years:

1. To reduce the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences and trauma on the population across the Bradford District.
2. To build resilience against long term harm of adversity and trauma.
3. To raise awareness so that the Bradford population is able to access and receive integrated support from a range of professionals across the lifespan.
