This document is best approached as a reflective tool that couches co-production within trauma informed principles and ethical practice.

There is little literature that focuses specifically on how we might think about service and system co-production from a trauma informed perspective. In applying this lens, a number of areas are raised that
we need to consider.

The guiding principles of a trauma informed framework are:

• safety
• trustworthiness and transparency
• peer support
• collaboration
• empowerment, voice and choice
• cultural humility

These principles underpin all aspects of this document.
