As a Trauma Informed School, we are able to support children who suffer with trauma or mental health issues and whose behaviour can act as a barrier to their learning. A trauma informed culture means creating a school culture where everyone is aware of trauma and its effects, and where everyone is committed to supporting students who have experienced trauma. To provide care that is trauma-informed in school means to understand how traumatic events shape children or young people’s neurological development as well as other aspects such as psychological health or social behaviour patterns. When students feel safe, they are more likely to behave positively in the classroom. This includes things like paying attention, following rules and cooperating with others.
