Webinar Runtime: 53 Minutes
This webinar will equip mental health practitioners, senior mental health leads, DSLs, learning mentors and teachers with the knowledge and skills to support and improve outcomes for pupils who have experienced ACEs.
The DfE's Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) statutory guidance underlines the importance of staff understanding how adverse experiences can impact pupils' mental health, behaviour and education.
Research indicates that ACEs can lead to poorer mental and physical health outcomes which are carried over into adulthood. Effective support can, however, steer pupils towards better outcomes, and at the same time address social inequality and the education gap.
In this webinar, Anna Bateman, subject matter expert on mental health and wellbeing and advisor to the DfE, provides an understanding of ACEs. She identifies types of ACE, explains their potential and cumulative impact on pupils' lives and offers a practical, research-led approach to improving outcomes.
