* You are responsible for record keeping for children

* You want the space to reflect and make sense of record keeping

* You are looking to develop a deeper embodied understanding of the impact of reading files as an adult

* You want to develop a trauma informed approach to record keeping

* You want to consider and embrace record keeping as having the potential for intergenerational and ancestral healing

“This was a great opportunity to reflect on how language, phrasing and omissions in our records can impact the lives of people who use our services. Looking through a trauma lens at what and how we record has reinforced for me how vital it is to ensure we get it right from the beginning of our careers. Thanks for a thought-provoking morning, Lisa.”

Target Audience:

Foster Care and Adoption Teams and Carers

Residential Workers

Social Workers

Early Help

Prevention Services

Educators

Anyone who writes records for children

“In two hours Lisa managed to very skillfully and calmly open up discussion and thinking about trauma informed recording. I felt we were left to form our own views and opinions without being spoon fed. The experience of the group was valued and respected and I came away with lots to think about and to take back to my team.”

This event is priced to support individuals to attend as well as groups from an organisation or team.

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.
