This report outlines how, through adopting the ’Marmot City’ approach developed by Sir Michael Marmot, at a regional level in Gwent, ‘Building a Fairer Gwent’ seeks to embed a trauma-informed model that tackles health inequalities in a way that is aligned to the principles and ethos of the Wales Trauma-informed Framework. ‘Building a Fairer Gwent’ recognises the inextricable link between the social determinants of health, health inequalities and the risk of adverse childhood experiences and trauma. This work provides an important contribution to knowledge about community level work to tackle root causes.
Hear from Tracy Daszkiewicz, Executive Director of Public Health and Strategic Partnerships, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, who explains more about the approach.
