and attachment difficulties'.

The Department for Education is increasingly recognising the long term impact of trauma and loss for children who are looked after, live in adoptive or special guardianship families. 

The children may experience a range of difficulties at school, including problems coping with change and transition, relationship difficulties with adults and other children, and difficulties managing their emotions and behaviours.

All of this can have an impact on their learning and emotional wellbeing.

This highly regarded training covers:   

Understanding the effects of early trauma, loss and attachment difficulties:

• The importance of children’s first relationships and experiences, and how these shape their attachment styles
• The impact of trauma, loss, abuse and neglect on children’s developing brains
• The behaviors and other difficulties which children may present with at school as a result of their early experiences

Evidence-informed practical strategies to support and include:

• Practical ways to provide nurture and structure for children
• The role of key adults in building relationships through empathy, trust and holding children in mind
• Providing emotional containment and teaching self-regulation
• Working with peers, social skills and play
• Supporting children through transitions and changes
