The meeting began by the Chair noting apologies from members. All members in attendance gave brief introductions.

Updates from partners

Each partner provided an update on their actions within the work plan which covered the following:

• how will the partner undertake the task/s
• any challenges or risks?
• how can other partners here support this work?

Involvement of individuals with lived experience

Scottish Government are keen to build on existing work and learning, avoiding duplication. The actions within the work plan will continue to draw on those with lived experience of trauma and social work services. 

The partners will further consider and review how they and their organisations can gather or represent the views of lived experience of trauma and social work services.
