Project: Trauma and ACE Informed University and Communities

At Wrexham University, we are the pilot organisation for the higher education sector across Wales and England, working to become a Trauma and Adverse Childhood Experience (TrACE)-informed institution. This project is being carried out in partnership with Welsh Government-funded and Public Health Wales-hosted ACE Hub Wales to raise awareness of the impact of Trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (TrACE) and share reflections and learning around the role that all organisations can play in creating a kinder and more compassionate society.

Being TrACE-informed means developing the understanding of trauma and the impact of trauma for everyone that works and studies at the university to better enable people who may have encountered trauma or adverse childhood experiences to progress and thrive while at Wrexham University and feel that they are treated with kindness, compassion, and respect.

It is important for us to understand and learn from the approaches that we have taken so far and capture any early impacts. Communicating and sharing these will support other organisations across the wider sector with their journey as well as help us to keep the momentum going and embed TrACE-informed approaches university and system-wide. This evaluation aims to disseminate lessons learnt and a series of recommendations to guide other universities and wider communities as they develop their TrACE-informed approach.
