Delivered by the Barnardo's Central Trauma Informed Practice Team, this 2-hour webinar deepens practitioners understanding of how adversity and developmental trauma can influence children’s emotional regulation, behaviour and relationships. Building on existing knowledge of ACEs, trauma theory and neurodiversity, the session explores how trauma shows up in practice and what it means to respond in ways that promote safety, trust, connection and cultural consideration.
The session also incorporates a neuroaffirming perspective, supporting staff to recognise sensory, communication and processing differences that influence how children may express distress and seek safety. The aim is to strengthen compassionate, informed and equitable practice when working with children who have experienced adversity.
