Answer
Many of the public services provided by my Department require colleagues to recognise the signs and symptoms of trauma in people accessing support.
I am committed to protecting the most vulnerable in society, embedding a right-based approach and meeting objective need.
As outlined in New Decade, New Approach, the Department is committed to citizen and community engagement and a co-design, co-production approach to policy development.
