What we do
TIGER stands for Trauma Informed Growth and Empowered Recovery; Barnardo’s unique evidence-informed and evaluated trauma-informed approach. We work with children, young people and their families where there are concerns around child sexual abuse, assault and exploitation, and harmful sexual behaviours. The approach is designed to provide children and young people with the narrative to understand and express their experiences and coach them to recovery through empathetic listening, emotional regulation, positive psychology and personal goal-setting. We also work alongside safe primary caregivers to support the child to recovery.
