You may have heard that there is a new service on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in Dudley and Sandwell. Commissioned by the West Midlands Violence Prevention Alliance, through the PCC, we are aiming to raise awareness of the impact of ACEs and trauma on vulnerable people of all ages across the borough.

We would therefore like to invite you and your colleagues to a training event at the link below on June 5^th. We have allocated 20 spaces to the voluntary and community sector for the event. To book places please visit:

Please disseminate information to any colleagues that you think would benefit from attending this training. We would suggest colleagues who:

• Are interested in finding out more about ACEs
• Work with vulnerable or traumatised people
• Work with children and adults who may have experienced, or are currently experiencing, adversity.

Dudley local authority is committed to raising awareness of ACEs and trauma-informed practice across the workforce to improve services for children, young people and families.
