I am submitting on behalf of Trauma Sensitive Cities Steering Group. This steering group is led by Cork City Council and is working on making Cork a City that is resilient, safe and responsive to the impacts of Trauma right across all organizations and communities in Cork City. We feel that the principals of Trauma informed practice should be reflected within the City Development Plan and should be interwoven into all policies at a city wide context.
Please find below in the attachments the submission from Trauma Sensitive City interagency steering group to the City Development Plan.
To add in Trauma reflective inclusive language that encourages a city that is responsive to trauma and recognizes the long term impacts of trauma across the life cycle from birth to old age. A city that resists retraumatisation of its citizens though the inclusion of a trauma lens on the future development of Cork City.
attached below is the reasons and rationale.
