Exploring "trauma-informed"

Moore House Group

Join us in person, or virtually, for a morning with Patrick and Judy for an in depth discussion around trauma-informed practice.

The Promise Plan 21-24 states that the way Scotland cares for children and young people “must be underpinned by the guiding principle of attachment and must be informed, responsive and reflective about the nature and impact of trauma. Every care setting must facilitate a relationship-based approach, the workforce must be trained and supported to attune to children’s physical and emotional states. This practice of ‘tuning in’ to how children are feeling, enables a process of coregulation and stability where children can learn to manage stress and anxiety. The workforce must be supported to be present and emotionally available to the children in their care.”What does it take to be a genuinely trauma-informed organisation? Is training enough? What are the implications for service providers, and their regulators, in evidencing that they are truly trauma-informed? What does Scotland need to do to take forward this commitment as part of keeping The Promise to children and young people? Join us for an audience with Patrick and Judy as they explore trauma-informed practice, followed by the opportunity to participate in workshops designed to inform Scotland’s next steps in the journey. You will be able to attend both Workshops A and B.Workshop A - Patrick TomlinsonHow do service providers create and maintain a trauma-informed culture? Workshop B - Judy FurnivallHow do we measure a service provider’s trauma-informed culture? Spaces are limited for attending in person, and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. However there is also the opportunity to join us virtually. We look forward to welcoming you to take part in this important conversation.Schedule 10:00 - 13:0009:45 - 10:00 - Online Registration10:00 - 11:30 - Patrick and Judy11:30 - 11:45 - Break11:45 - 12:15 - Workshop A/B12:20 - 12:50 - Workshop A/B12:50 - 13:00 - Reflections
