Working in a safe and trustful way - for advocacy partners, group members and volunteers

About these questions

This questionnaire is for people who have been involved with CAPS Independent Advocacy in the last 2 years ie since January 2020.

Trauma Informed Practice is a way of working that recognises:

that anyone using a service may have experienced trauma at some time in their lives
that people who have had experience of trauma may be less likely to trust services
that relationships are important in preventing and recovering from the effects of a traumatic experience.

CAPS aims to work with everyone in this way to provide the best possible Advocacy experience. We aim to:

Create physically and emotionally safe spaces for people
Work in a transparent way to establish trusting relationships with people
Ensure people have as much choice and control as possible
Work collaboratively, respecting people’s experience and co-producing materials wherever possible
Create a culture of compassion within the organisation.
