Introduction to Trauma Informed Practice

Trauma Informed Practice – Ready‑to‑Deliver Training

This ready‑to‑deliver training provides a complete introduction to trauma informed practice, attachment, toxic stress and resilience. Designed for schools, SEND teams and professionals working with children and young people, the session is fully prepared and can be delivered straight away with no additional planning.

The training explains how early experiences shape the brain and nervous system, why some children remain in survival states, and how adults can support regulation, safety and connection. It introduces key concepts such as attachment needs, toxic stress, co‑regulation, the Five to Thrive model, the Power Threat Meaning Framework and the PACE approach.

This resource gives staff a clear understanding of how trauma affects behaviour and learning, and provides practical, compassionate strategies for responding in a way that builds trust and resilience.
