Introducing WAVE Trust
Over the years, WAVE has grown into an internationally recognised charity, dedicated to understanding and addressing the root causes of violence, including child abuse, neglect, and domestic violence. Our extensive research, coupled with global partnerships, allows us to offer blueprints, workshops, and training sessions that steer communities towards a trauma-informed approach. Today, our passion and commitment resonate with countless lives we've touched, and with your support, we can touch many more.
As you delve deeper into our story and vision, you'll understand the profound impact of our 70/30 Campaign, an initiative poised to redefine the early years of countless children, shaping a brighter, healthier future for all by achieving a 70% reduction in child abuse and neglect by the year 2030.
The Genesis of the 70/30 Campaign
WAVE Trust, with its undeterred commitment to transforming early-life experiences for children, has pioneered initiatives like the 70/30 Campaign, and the "Building Great Britons (2015)" report, published by the First 1001 Days All Part Parliamentary Group. Our campaign zeroes in on the most crucial formative years of a child's life – the first 1001 days.
Our Vision for Every Child
Every child deserves to grow up resilient and able to cope with adversity. By supporing children in their early years relationships and by championing trauma-informed practices and the establishment of trauma-informed communities, we can ensure that the next generation thrives.
Our Call to Action
Our advocacy covers an expansive range, but here are our specific pleas:
To the National Government: Enhance early years funding, appoint dedicated ministers, prioritise prevention, and spearhead the collection of relevant data.
To Health and Local Governments: Develop localised 'First 1001 days Start of Life' plans, set up family hubs, and prioritise a primary preventive approach.
To Political Parties: Recognise the unparalleled importance of the first 1001 days, treating it with the seriousness it deserves.
To Professional Bodies: Mandate training that emphasises the importance of early years for social and emotional development and which supports the workforce and service users alike in a trauma-informed way
