All teachers and leaders should attend this training. The impact of ACEs affects everyone. Relationships are key. Really well presented and a fascinating insight into why children behave as they do.

Well worth the cost and the time - encourage a wider audience beyond schools - nursing, health, EP, social care, police etc. Many thanks for a refreshing and thoughtful day. Now time to reflect and change.
