This course is an opportunity to learn about how we at the Fox Federation have designed and implemented a trauma-friendly approach to supporting children with their behaviour and emotions. We will share the rationale for the adoption of this approach, including our learning on what we need to do to meet the needs of our most vulnerable children, including those who are SEND or who have experienced trauma. We will then discuss the process of implementation, including challenges faced and lessons learned so far. School leaders are encouraged to join us for this reflective session. There will be a pre-record provided covering essential learning on trauma and how this effects children in school, for any attendees who do not have this knowledge What it will include Why be trauma-friendly?
