WAVE Trust is a charity set up by business strategists to tackle the root causes of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as child abuse and witnessing domestic violence.
Over more than two decades, we have researched international best practice in both preventing these and tackling their outcomes when not prevented. We are a member of the World Health Organisation’s Violence Prevention Alliance and have advised the UK Cabinet Office, Home Office and Departments of Education and Health, as well as the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish Governments and the Metropolitan Police.
Our training focuses on the impact of childhood trauma, which is at the root of so much challenging behaviour encountered by organisations today.
