Our Trauma-Informed Classrooms CPD training equips primary school teachers and support staff with the practical knowledge and tools needed to support children affected by trauma and attachment difficulties. Across a focused, one-day online session, delivered by experienced clinical psychologists, participants explore attachment theory, learn to identify trauma-related behaviours, and develop skills in therapeutic regulation, empathic discipline (using PACE and logical consequences), and self-care. This training not only enhances classroom practice but also promotes a trauma-sensitive school culture grounded in safety, understanding, and resilience-building

What is our Trauma Informed Classrooms training?
Challenging behaviours, emotional outbursts, or shut-downs can leave staff feeling overwhelmed, ineffective, or unsure how best to help. Our Trauma-Informed Classrooms training addresses these challenges head-on by helping educators understand the “why” behind the behaviour. It offers practical strategies for regulation, connection, and behaviour support – empowering teachers to respond with confidence, empathy, and consistency. Crucially, it also equips staff to create safe, trusting environments where children feel understood and supported – laying the foundations for emotional recovery, improved relationships, and better learning outcomes.
It is delivered online via Zoom.
Who is it suitable for?
This training is suitable for all professionals working in UK primary school settings, including teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs, pastoral staff, and senior leaders. It’s ideal for anyone supporting children who may have experienced trauma, neglect, or disrupted attachments – whether in mainstream or specialist provisions. No prior psychological training is needed; the course is accessible, practical, and designed to enhance everyday classroom practice across the whole school team.
Please note that this course is not suitable for parents/carers.
