The SecEd Podcast: Trauma & adverse childhood experiences
This episode looks at how secondary schools can support students living with trauma & adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
We ask what form trauma/ACEs can take and what impact they can have on young people and their education.
We discuss signs to look-out, the key tenets of effective support, how to build strong relationships and trust, and creating safe spaces.
We discuss behaviour as a form of communication, how to handle incidents/meltdowns, how to be curious about the causes of behaviour, “fight-flight-freeze-fawn”, and why “connection before correction” is crucial.
We discuss the four domains of safety, child-centred planning, attendance and more.
