Creating a safe and nurturing environment for children in care is paramount. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by adopting trauma informed practices. But how do you know if your children’s home is ready to make this important shift?
Assessing your readiness is the first crucial step.
Children in care have often experienced trauma and adversity. Trauma informed approaches recognise the widespread impact of trauma on children and understands that the journey of healing requires approaches that align with neuroscience and relational based approaches.
