Caranua: Financial Statements 2019

11:30 am

Ms Rachel Downes:

This is a recommendation. It is not something Caranua is working on as an organisation. It is not within our remit. I would have to defer that to the Department of Education, which is looking after that area. The Deputy is correct. That section with trauma-informed training would have widespread positive impacts for the greater population outside of survivors. Anyone who is dealing with vulnerable instances, addiction or anything like that would really benefit if staff had trauma-informed care training.
