The ARC Alex Timpson Awards recognise and celebrate best attachment and trauma aware practice in schools and settings.
Virtual School Head Teachers are invited to nominate a school or setting from their region for the categories below. Short listed nominees will have their work featured on the ARC website and will be put forward for the final award stage.
Awards will be made to the school or setting in each category which, in the opinion of the ARC Judging Panel, has made the most significant development in its attachment and trauma aware practice. Judges will look at three main areas: (ambition, scope and impact)* and the form below enables work in these areas to be highlighted. Judges recognise that the development of attachment and trauma practice is a journey, so work in progress is welcome.
A winner will be chosen from each category and will receive £1000 to spend on sharing good practice. In the next calendar year, winners will present a workshop at the ARC Annual Conference in the Autumn Term.
The ARC Alex Timpson Award is open to ARC members and non-members. All nominees must be supported and nominated by their Virtual Head.
