Intake Primary School
TISUK – Trauma Informed School
We are officially a Trauma Informed School.
The way we communicate with children, the strategies we use, the language we use and the interventions we put in place are key to supporting children who are feeling anxious or distressed.
Children are explicitly taught about the brain, how their brain works and how to regulate their emotions (please see the clips attached).
Our SENCo completed the ten day diploma in 2022 and has disseminated the key learning points to ALL members of staff in school including teachers, teaching assistants, lunchtime supervisors and governors.
The SENCo also holds termly workshops with parents with a different focus on areas of Trauma.
The SENCo attends 6 briefings each year to maintain the Trauma Informed status and to keep abreast of any changes or initiatives and feeds these back through staff meetings and training sessions.
