The Early Action Together (E.A.T) programme has produced a short animation to increase understanding of the impact Adverse Childhood Experience (ACEs) have on public health, policing and criminal justice in Wales, and what can be done to prevent the inter-generational cycle of crime.

The resource is primarily aimed at police and criminal justice professionals, as well as other statutory and third sector organisations in Wales, to show the importance of taking a trauma informed, multi-agency, preventative approach in addressing the root causes of behaviour to make a positive difference to the lives of vulnerable people. 

Early Action Together is a partnership between Public Health Wales, the four Wales Police Forces and Police and Crime Commissioners, Barnardo’s and Criminal Justice partners including HM Prison and Probation Service Wales, Community Rehabilitation Company Wales and Youth Justice Board Wales.
