Overview
Mental health challenges and trauma can significantly affect a learner's wellbeing, behaviour, engagement, and ability to succeed.
As safeguarding responsibilities continue to grow within Further Education, staff need the confidence and skills to recognise trauma and respond effectively.
This webinar explores the relationship between mental health, trauma, and safeguarding, helping participants understand how traumatic experiences can influence behaviour and learning.
Through a trauma-informed safeguarding lens, delegates will learn how to identify signs of distress, promote psychological safety, and respond with empathy while maintaining clear safeguarding responsibilities.
