Theme
This half day training is aimed at professionals who are supporting children and their families and who would like to explore different ways to collaborate with schools in meeting the child’s emotional needs. We know that for many children who are in kinship or foster care, or who are adopted, education can be a challenging experience.
We will discuss ways to share your understanding of how attachment disruptions and experiences or early trauma impact on a child’s learning and sense of safety within school and how to work towards an effective collaboration between the child’s home, school and professional support network.
