- What post-incident care model is in current use by your service?

- How many incidents were recorded in the last fullfinancial year?
- April 2024 to March 2025 there were 291 staff referred to the TRiM programme for support, but number of incidents this pertains to is unknown.

- TRiM began in June 2023, Staying Well Service began in December 2025.
