ACE-Aware
Safeguarding
​
The London ACEs Hub (LAH) is committed to a safeguarding approach that prevents re-traumatisation and promotes mutual care in practice and knowledge-sharing.
​
Our ACE-Aware and Trauma-informed Safeguarding Policy and Procedures have been developed in consultation with our LAH Network and external collaborators, comprising input from trauma survivors, also known as experts by experience, multidisciplinary professionals, and community advocates.

ACE-aware and trauma-informed safeguarding involves a lot of self and mutual care.
Responding to difficult situations, including ACEs and trauma, can be triggering and is not an easy task. It can impact us long after the events.
​
It is nice to talk with a trusted person if you can to discuss your concerns and process them together. This person can be a friend, a family member, or a professional.
