Improving the Welfare of Young Adult Offenders: Co-producing Trauma-Informed Practice Through Service Blueprinting

概述年轻的成年罪犯往往在他们的背景(例如精神健康、依赖、住房问题)中有不成比例的高比例的不利因素(Wright和Ldle，2014，Ldle等人2016)。适当的福利和支持服务对于促进这一群体的积极转变至关重要(Prior et al，2011，Grimshaw 2017)。然而，这种服务也会在不知不觉中加剧他们以前的生活经历造成的创伤(Sweeney等人，2015年)。作为更多以人为中心的方法的一部分，这项研究将审查为18-25岁罪犯提供服务的创伤知情实践(TIP)。更具体地说，它将探讨联合编制服务蓝图是否、如何以及为什么能够有效地改善福利和将TIP的原则付诸实施。这项研究将解决以下研究问题：1.18-25岁的罪犯在与服务机构的互动中如何以及在多大程度上经历了麻木不仁的待遇？这会带来什么影响？TIP原则如何以及在多大程度上会产生更积极的体验？2.服务提供者在多大程度上认可年轻成年罪犯的经历？在与他们的互动中，他们如何解释和实施TIP原则？3.共同制定“服务蓝图”的过程是否会对上述内容产生影响？如果是，会以何种方式产生影响？

Overview Young adult offenders often have a disproportionately high prevalence of disadvantage in their backgrounds (e.g. mental health, dependency, housing issues) (Wright and Liddle 2014, Liddle et al 2016). Appropriate welfare and support services can be crucial in promoting positive transitions for this group (Prior et al 2011, Grimshaw 2017). Yet such services can also unwittingly reinforce traumas deriving from their previous life experiences (Sweeney et al 2015). As part of a more person-centred approach, this study will examine Trauma Informed Practice (TIP), in services for 18-25-year-old offenders. More specifically, it will explore if, how and why the co-production of service blueprints can be effective in improving welfare and operationalising principles of TIP for this cohort. The study will address the following research questions:1. How and to what extent do 18-25-year-old offenders experience insensitive treatment in their interaction with services? What are the impacts of this? How and to what extent would TIP principles generate more positive experiences?2. To what extent do service providers recognise young adult offenders' experiences? How do they interpret and implement TIP principles in their interaction with them?3. Does the process of co-producing a 'service blueprint' impact on the above and if so in what way?
