Every Child Flourishing: Becoming Trauma-Informed Schools
Following the launch of Every Child Flourishing on Wednesday 7th July 2021, CEFEL is supporting dioceses around the country to run networks for primary schools as well as a national network for secondary schools looking at how schools can become more trauma-informed. You can watch the launch event here:
Our Every Child Flourishing: Becoming Trauma-Informed Schools Network features taught content by experts from the following organisations, all of whom specialise in early childhood experiences, trauma and supporting children within educational settings.
We are thrilled to be working with the following partners for Every Child Flourishing:
All of these organisations have resources for schools to support their journey towards becoming trauma informed.
Every Child Flourishing has been made possible through the generosity of Sir John Timpson and the leadership of Krish Kandiah, Chair of the DfE Adoption and Special Guardianship Leadership Board.
In between the expert sessions, schools will have the opportunity to network with one another, discussing how they might put their learning into practice.
