Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) – Research indicates that ACEs can lead to poorer mental and physical health outcomes which are carried over into adulthood. Effective support can, however, steer pupils towards better outcomes, and at the same time address social inequality and the education gap.
Aims of the course:
Raise awareness of the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma on childhood development
Staff to reframe the way they think and act and the language they use in light of this knowledge and understanding
Encourage reflection on our part in the outcomes / prognosis for more vulnerable learners (part of the problem or part of the solution?)
