We have worked closely with Dr Dawn Bradly, an EMDR trauma therapist and Educational Psychologist specialising in supporting children and young people with attachment injuries and trauma wounds in school, to create a package of bespoke training events to meet the needs of schools, Multi-Academy Trusts and Virtual Schools.
The Scene and the Unseen – invites delegates to explore the hidden vulnerabilities of young people who are looked after.
After Care – focusses on the experiences of Previously Looked After Children and explores issues related to kinship care, adoption and Special Guardianship Orders
Behind the Scenes – explores practical classroom strategies, emotional regulation, attachment-aware practice, transitions and relationship-building, to help delegates reflect on how schools can create environments where vulnerable children feel safe, understood and able to succeed.
All of these events can be:
geared towards staff who work with children in a specific age group or towards specific roles e.g. designated teachers for care-experienced young people, Safeguarding Leads, or classroom teachers.
presented as stand-alone interactive theatre performances, or combined with a keynote from Dr Dawn Bradley who offers interpretation, reframing, and exploration of the fictional characters’ behaviour, their function and the child or young person’s needs.
delivered as whole-day or half-day training events when combined with the keynote presentation, or as 1 hour 45 minute inputs into a wider INSET day agenda.
