This month we have been delighted to announce a new partnership between ARC, London's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) and the London Virtual School Headteachers. With the support of Joe Norton-Jones, Assistant Headteacher of the Royal Borough of Greenwich Virtual School, I was able to launch this partnership at a VRU event last week. This partnership will see the VRU supporting the vision of an Inclusive London, adding capacity to the system and encouraging trauma-informed, attachment aware practice in all London schools. Dee Dee Roberts, Assistant Headteacher of Lewisham Virtual School, will be leading this work and we are excited to see the model evolve and think how we might use the learning in other parts of the UK.

I also have the fantastic job of inviting new schools across the country, including our ARC Timpson Award winners, to become Learning Hubs, showcasing their work to other members. If you would like to share any aspects of the work you are doing, please do get in touch at zoe@the-arc.org.uk.
