Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

When It Is Used

Use the review during service-quality work when a team needs to understand how current practices support or undermine trauma-informed principles.

What It Captures

The tool captures observed strengths, observed gaps, insufficient-evidence states, and selected improvement priorities by principle.

Important Boundary

The review is about service-setting implementation. It does not assess an individual client, diagnose trauma impact, assign blame, or produce implementation scores.

Is this completed by clients?

No. This is a practitioner-only service review. Clients are intended beneficiaries of service improvement, but they do not complete a form in this product configuration.

Does the tool score trauma-informed care?

No. The result is descriptive. It shows strengths, gaps, incomplete areas, and selected priorities without scores, maturity levels, or compliance labels.

Can a review focus on only some principles?

Yes. Principle inclusion can be changed when a focused review legitimately covers a subset, and that configuration affects the review matrix and later comparison.

What happens to unfinished principles?

Unfinished principles remain visible as incomplete. They are not treated as having no gaps.
