This is a full-day course looking at the impact of trauma on children, families and professionals, how to support healing and how to practise in a trauma informed way.

Who is it for?

All DSCP training endorses that safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. As such, this course is relevant for practitioners and managers across the range of Adult and Children’s services and is for all professionals who work with parents, carers, children and young people.

Who is delivering the training?

The training is delivered by therapeutically trained and experienced workers from Full Circle Therapeutic Services.

Full Circle is a specialist therapeutic service for children and young people with complex backgrounds who have been abused or neglected, and the impact of the abuse or neglect is affecting their day to day functioning and emotional wellbeing.

Ofsted said about the Service, “The therapeutic service provided by Full Circle is invaluable. Using evidence based research, the service is making a real difference to children who have been traumatised by adverse childhood experiences, as well as supporting their carers.” (September 2019).

Ofsted said about children, young people and families, “They receive tailored and highly effective support with their emotional needs from the specialist therapeutic Full Circle team. Foster carers and adopters are well supported by social workers and Full Circle in the transition and continuing care of children placed with them.” (May 2022)
