March 2023

In the East Midlands region, the Derbyshire Virtual School has been leading a yearlong Attachment Aware Schools programme (recently re-titled as Attachment & Relationship Aware Schools programme) for 8 years and worked with a quarter of their four hundred plus schools in the county. This programme of  work has had national recognition and was highlighted in a national research study undertaken by the Rees Centre exploring best practice in this area of school support and development.

Hadley Report

The Rees Centre is part of the department of education at Oxford University and aims to improve the education, wellbeing, and life outcomes of those who are, or have been supported by children’s social care services, with a focus on children in need (including those in care), adoptive and special guardianship families and care experienced adults.

Additionally, you may want to take a look at a blog which explores the positive impact being attachment and trauma aware had on school capacity to cope with the many challenges experienced during the Covid pandemic.
