TRAINING OFFER:  Designated Safeguarding Leads and  Designated Teachers

Trauma Informed Consultancy Services Ltd support settings, services and systems in becoming trauma-informed, working towards building connection, safety and belonging. Explicitly, this means creating a setting, service and/or system that is ready to work within the principles of trauma informed practice, and develop the model of ‘realise, recognise, respond and resist’, while actively ensuring the power imbalance is redressed. We work across every sector supporting all those working with children, young people and their families.Utilising the wisdom of lived experience, academic research and practice knowledge, we will support you to offer safe, supportive and encouraging environments. The explicit focus is threefold; preventing harm, not adding to harm, seeking to mitigate harm when it has already happened. We understand that while different sectors specialise in certain areas, we all live our lives across the life course; adults were once children and children become adults which is why we believe it is important to take an holistic approach to becoming trauma informed.

Moving beyond basic, unhelpful, even dry, eLearning experiences or pre-recorded webinars.

Come along to our free event to hear about our plans for a new approach to the training of school designated safeguarding leads and designated teachers for looked after children. Tell us what you want and what would be helpful!Here at TICS, we’ve been listening to the experiences of training for designated safeguarding leads in schools and designated teachers for looked after children. These fantastic educators hold a key role in protecting children from abuse or neglect and supporting children in care to thrive in school.It is mandatory for DSLs and DTs to have specialist training (and most do so annually) but, too often, the courses offered are unhelpful, even dry, eLearning experiences or pre-recorded webinars. The content can be basic, and focused solely on the statutory duties of these brilliant educators. We think this is a missed opportunity to truly support DSLs and DTs. We want to do something different.Dr Lisa Cherry and Alexander Kemp are holding a live conversation on 20 June 2024 at 5pm about how TICS’s approach to holding training events for DSLs and DTs, starting in July, will be different. TICS will run training in small, live, online groups with space to explore your school context and tailor the experience of training to you.In addition to covering the basics of the statutory duties of DSLs and DTs, we’ll be exploring concepts of trauma, belonging, aspiration, loss and attachment to enable you to reflect deeply on the experiences of children. The training will be run by Alexander Kemp, a safeguarding expert and former senior manager in children’s social care and former Her Majesty’s Inspector of children’s social care in England. Alexander is also a doctoral researcher in the Department of Education at the University of York with a strong track record of supporting services that enable looked after children to thrive in school.Dr Lisa Cherry and Alexander will introduce, on 20 June 2024, how trauma-informed approaches can inform the work of DSLs and DTs and seek your feedback about how the TICS training can be truly meaningful and applicable to the context of DSLs and DTs.
