Our current research programme

The centre has a thriving and growing programme that seeks to improve our understanding of the impact of trauma and of the experiences and outcomes of people who come into contact with services. Our current programme represents a number of key strands of trauma research and service development that encompasses systemic, staff and service user needs.  In order to ensure that our research meets the diverse needs of hetrogeneous populations we have adopted a mainstreaming approach, whereby the four key intersections of gender, ethnicity, age and neurotypical status are reflected and considered within the research cycle and process. 

We frequently collaborate with universities and charities in the development and delivery of our programmes, including undertaking invited pieces of work.
