Ten UK organisations have joined forces to create the Trauma-Informed Hosting Coalition, aimed at supporting victims of trauma being hosted in the UK and those around them.

The Trauma-Informed Hosting Coalition sees the coming together of charity and partnership organisations: Barnardo’s, Citizens UK, Hope at Home, Housing Justice Cymru, Migration Yorkshire, NACCOM, Refugee Council, Refugees at Home, Reset and Trauma Treatment International (TTI).

The coalition is working together to ensure hosting schemes in the UK are trauma-informed. This helps create the best possible conditions to prevent re-traumatisation, support long term recovery, and promote the wellbeing of hosts, guests and the people who work with them.

Shared best practice guidelines, based on the experiences of guests and hosts, are being promoted to the charity, public sector and policy makers for future national hosting schemes.
