Commitment. This is a key step in co-creating a shared understanding, common
purpose and responsibility for leadership at all levels, which informs and engages
with everyone in the organisation. A well-crafted Statement of Commitment can
help communicate the intention and prioritisation to becoming a TrACE-informed
organisation to staff, service users and wider stakeholders.
This poster sets out Anglesey’s journey, starting with looked after children in schools and developing a common language across children’s services, voluntary and statutory agencies and embedded in the communities of the island itself.

There are exciting developments planned and underway for the future as Anglesey moves forward to realising its vision of a whole system approach, looking beyond behaviours to understand anyone can experience adversity and trauma in their lives, and rooted in empathy and compassion.
