Safety Net is thrilled to announce that we have received One Small Thing’s Working with Trauma Quality Mark at the Silver Level: Trauma-Informed. This recognition reflects our efforts to establish a comprehensive process of assessment, moderation, and an internal verification panel. 

The Silver Quality Mark means our trauma-informed work is integrated into our culture, practices, and environment, and we prioritise individual needs and well-being. We are honoured to receive this accreditation and join a community of organisations dedicated to the trauma-aware, trauma-informed, and trauma-responsive approach.

One Small Thing is an organisation with a mission to redesign the justice system for women and children. They strive for a justice system that recognises, understands, and responds to trauma effectively. Recently, they built Hope Street, a residential community that offers women and children access to specialised support in a healing, trauma-informed environment.

The Working with Trauma Quality Mark is awarded to organisations that meet robust standards for working with trauma. It is available in Bronze, Silver, and Gold, providing a national benchmark for trauma-informed practices. It offers accessible guidelines to help organisations develop their trauma practices, support funding applications, and demonstrate their commitment to trauma-informed care.

The Mark was developed through extensive analysis of global trauma-informed practices in partnership with Dr Alexandria Bradley from Leeds Beckett University and peer-reviewed by The Nelson Trust and Tina Vink at Together Women.
