Augusta Zadow Trauma-informed Resources to Support New Professionals in the Criminal Justice System

This page includes the videos and written reports created as part of the Magnolia Project’s Augusta Zadow Award.

A Literature Review

This report summarises published research relevant to understanding factors contributing to the successful recruitment and retention of new professionals across the criminal justice system. We apply a trauma-informed perspective to consider new worker expectations about their professional roles, the challenges that they might expect to encounter, and what this can mean in terms of personal stress, trauma, burnout, and self-care.

A Resource for Professionals, Educators and Employers

This resource aims to raise awareness of some of the issues and challenges that new professionals may encounter, to encourage reflection on how best to navigate them and—importantly, from our perspective at the Magnolia project—identify ways to ensure that new professionals flourish in the criminal justice system and make a positive contribution to those with whom they work.
