Overview

This webinar will provide an overview of the well respected and evidence-based approach to working with developmental trauma that is the ARC Framework (Attachment, Regulation and Competence). 

A panel of experienced professionals from 3 different contexts (adolescent psychiatric in-patient services, specialist education provision for primary aged children and social care secure unit) will share their reasons for choosing to become trauma-informed, what drew them to the ARC framework. The panel will also share their experiences of the driving forces to implementation and restraining forces within their contexts and wider systems that needed to be undone to enable this. 

There will be an opportunity for anyone curious about implementing trauma informed practice (using the ARC framework or any other programme) to ask questions and draw on the expertise of the panel.
