Abstract

Implementation of trauma-informed policing is developing at pace; however, evidence of impact is limited. This study examines the impact of trauma-informed practice (TIP) training (trainees, n = 358) across two police forces in England. 316 trainees completed a pre- and post-training survey measuring attitudes/knowledge relating to TIPs (229 matched for paired analyses). Compared to pre-training, post-training participants were significantly more likely to agree with statements relating to trauma-informed knowledge/attitudes (effect sizes: medium-large). The study suggests positive impacts of training. Further evaluation is required to determine wider impacts for police forces and partners, those encountering the criminal justice system, and the wider community.
