Issue details

In line with the council’s workforce plan and corporate strategy, Bristol City Council wants to equip our workforce with cutting edge, innovative tools that enable employees to improve outcomes for children and young people.
This decision will give the council access to a package of virtual reality headsets. These immersive training tools will be used to increase understanding of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), contributing to our ambition to be an ACE informed City.
Cornerstone will deliver 36 virtual reality headsets and associated training package. This will enhance Council employee’s ability to communicate with young people who have experienced trauma. In addition, Council employees will be able to support potential foster carers and/or adoptive parents.
