Referring to the research and best practice, we will detail how to support these vulnerable children so that they can feel safe, learn and ultimately thrive in school.
The course will include:
An examination of trauma, developmental trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences
A detailed look at the areas in which traumatised children can struggle and why Whole-school approaches that support traumatised children Specific approaches for traumatised children
