Safeguarding Partnership Board

Audience

This one day session is designed for social care practitioners working directly with children and families.

Aim

This workshop will support participants to develop knowledge and confidence in trauma-informed, relationship-based practice, building core skills to enable trauma-informed approaches with children, young people and families.

Participants will consider the impacts of complex, developmental trauma and ways these experiences may affect engagement between practitioners and the children and adults they work with.

During the workshop, participants will explore the key principles underpinning trauma-informed approaches. They will increase their knowledge of how trauma-informed approaches can be implemented into practice and develop their skills in facilitating engagement with people affected by trauma.
