["Child Abuse Review, Volume 35, Issue 3, May/June 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\nTrauma‐informed practice is increasingly recognised across child‐serving systems, yet applying its principles consistently remains challenging. This article introduces the TARA practice model, Trauma, Attachment and Resilience into Action, an evidence‐informed framework supporting practitioners in embedding trauma‐informed approaches in child welfare, foster care and residential settings. Centred on relational and embodied safety, mentalising and practitioner wellbeing, TARA comprises six core practice dimensions. A residential care case study illustrates how the model guides collaborative, attuned and resilience‐focused responses to complex trauma. Key learnings highlight mentalising development, the role of the physical environment and the importance of reflective supervision in sustaining trauma‐informed cultures.\n"]
