Civic and business commissioner reflections youtu.be/9D4uz6ge4Ls #PovertyTruthMcr

One learning from #PovertyTruthMcr is the importance of trauma informed responses. 1/5 of the people we help Christians Against Poverty (CAP) UK tell us they experienced trauma in childhood. What does a trauma informed response in debt collection look like? Has anyone written anything about this?

Today is the launch of Manchester’s ManchesterPovertyTruth Commission. Real change comes from harnessing the voices and energy of real people. ‘Bringing humanity back into the room’ - lots of recommendations for the city to crack on with. Together we can make a change #povertytruthmcr

Nearly at the end. Thanks to everyone who has contributed, and especially to all the commissioners who brought their whole selves to the process #PovertyTruthMcr
