The Special Educational Needs Advice Centre (SENAC) are hosting a conference to: ‘Raise awareness and understanding of the impact of trauma on care experienced children and young people and an exploration of strategies to support learning’ Key Note Speech by Louise Michelle Bombèr, Strategic Attachment Lead Teacher & Therapist and Eminent Author on Attachment

Increasingly, we are learning of the impact of early trauma and adverse childhood experience and how such experience shapes and influences a child’s life and learning. Awareness grows within health, education and government that greater consideration and understanding of the impact of childhood trauma must be applied in our interactions with children and the services and support we provide.

Join us for an inspiring and informative conference to raise awareness on the impact of trauma and gain information on initiatives and strategies to support learning.

Louise Bombèr, Strategic Attachment Lead Teacher & Therapist and Eminent Author on Attachment will deliver a 90 min keynote speech: 'The Human Bridge Towards Recovery-Settling to Learn'
