Spring Term 2022 - Attachment and Trauma Sensitive Practice

We are delighted to bring in guest speaker Dr Jennifer Nock to deliver attachment and trauma based training for our DTs.  Jennifer is a chartered psychologist with over 25 years experience of working alongside children, families and educators.  The training is split into 2 days and will address ways of supporting children in care who may be experiencing attachment issues or developmental trauma, focusing on areas such as the repair of early trauma, transition and anxiety, and how to recognise a trauma informed school.

Training will be delivered through Microsoft Teams, it is free to attend and is mandatory for all Halton DTs.  We're also extending an invitation to attend the training for any DTs in out of borough provisions where we have a Halton CIC on roll although it is not mandatory for out of borough provisions to attend.

There are different dates to choose from depending on your experience and availability.  Booking is essential and deadline for booking is Thursday 27th January.  To book on please email louisa.rees@halton.gov.uk with your name, provision and preferred dates.

If schools and DTs have any specific training that they'd like us to put in place, please contact us on virtual.school@halton.gov.uk .
