Trauma and attachment

Norfolk Virtual School have a duty to ensure that schools understand the impact that trauma and attachment difficulties can have on children and young people in the Virtual School cohorts.

We understand that building understanding of trauma and attachment aware practices within education helps professionals to understand lived experiences of our children and young people and how it may present and impact them within the classroom. Our tiered offer of support ensures we have universal professional development opportunities to engage in for professionals in education and social care who are supporting these cohorts. Our targeted and bespoke tiers have been developed to offer schools autonomy and accountability for securing training opportunities for their staff that will positively impact the outcomes for children and young people supported by the Virtual School.
