Developing trauma aware and responsive practice in your setting
Transition from Nursery to Primary can be a challenging time for children, their families and schools.  
Considering the varying needs of children, this training is focused at looking at how early childhood experiences can impact on development particularly those who have experienced reoccurring trauma.  
 
This 2-part course will look at thinking behind how trauma, attachment and adverse experiences can impact on a child’s development.  There will be opportunities to explore the needs of children you support in your setting and explore different approaches to engage and support challenging presentations.  
 
Early booking is advised to secure your places as places will be limited.
 
Through shared practice and understanding about how trauma impacts on engagement in schools, settings will:
  • develop a better understanding of children’s needs
  • consider different strategies to support children's experience in an early years setting
