Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy how her Department is adopting a trauma-informed approach when developing policy and legislation.

Answer:

My Department follows Central Government guidance on policy development. This is built around a ‘policy cycle’ framework focused on ‘Rationale, Objectives, Appraisal, Monitoring, Evaluation and Feedback’.

At present there are no plans to adopt a trauma-informed approach when developing policy and legislation in respect of economic development.
