Is your trauma-informed school restorative?

Educators often assume that because they claim restorative-ness that they are also trauma informed. Likewise, many trauma-informed schools continue to use outdated approaches to behaviour management, almost negating the positives of trauma-informed work.

This webinar with Marg Thorsborne will do a deep dive into what we mean by both approaches, challenge some of the outdated approaches that still inform policy and practice, and develop a better understanding of how to weave these into a cohesive whole.

This webinar will be suitable for senior and middle managers, wellbeing and welfare specialists, and those educators interested in the hard work of culture change – changing mindsets and practice.
