In view of the rise in child abuse in Singapore, our Family Service Centre developed a child welfare practice model to guide and anchor our practitioners in trauma-informed approaches. This practice model was developed over two years through literature reviews and qualitative interviews with practitioners. Three aspects of the practice model were found to be key in ensuring practitioners were trauma-informed in their practices, these being: the principles and values related to trauma-informed practice; reflection by practitioners on their attachment history and self; and the assessment of caregivers’ characteristics. Despite this practice model being largely beneficial for practitioners in our agency, implementation in the local context gives rise to certain challenges due to differences in beliefs about disciplining children.

卫理公会福利服务圣约家庭服务中心（新加坡）的创伤知情儿童福利实践模式

鉴于新加坡虐待儿童的情况不断增加，我们的家庭服务中心开发了一种儿童福利实践模式，以指导和锚定我们的从业人员采用创伤知情方法。这种实践模式是通过文献回顾和对从业者的定性访谈在两年多的时间里发展起来的。实践模式的三个方面被发现是确保从业者在实践中了解创伤的关键，它们是：与创伤知情实践相关的原则和价值观；从业者对依恋历史和自我的反思；以及对照顾者特征的评估。尽管这种实践模式对我们机构的从业者大有裨益，但由于对管教儿童的信念存在差异，在当地实施会带来某些挑战。
