About this course
Who is this course for?
| Trauma-Informed Childcare Services | |
| Ideal Audience: | Early Years Practitioners (< 5 years' experience) working in UK childcare settings, particularly those in England, with a focus on those in urban areas where child trauma is more prevalent. According to the NSPCC, 1 in 5 children in England have experienced emotional abuse, and 1 in 4 have experienced physical abuse. As a result, 75% of childcare workers in England report feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, highlighting the need for trauma-informed training. This programme is designed to equip practitioners with the skills and knowledge to create a safe and supportive environment for children who have experienced trauma. |
| Key Characteristics: | Childcare workers in England who have not received formal training in trauma-informed practice, those working in settings with high levels of child trauma, and those who have experienced trauma themselves. The programme is particularly relevant for those working in London, where child poverty rates are higher than the national average, and 1 in 10 children experience neglect. |
| Benefits: | Improved ability to identify and respond to children's emotional and behavioural needs, enhanced capacity to create a safe and supportive environment, and increased confidence in managing challenging behaviours. By investing in trauma-informed training, childcare providers can improve outcomes for children, reduce staff turnover, and enhance their reputation as a trusted and caring organisation. |
