From understanding to everyday interactions
This module develops the relational and trauma-informed core of Benchmark. It begins with attachment and transitions, moves into trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and applies PACE and reflective practice to everyday interactions.
Relationships, transitions and attachment
Explore the experiences children bring into relationships and the demands of moving between people and places.
- Attachment, severed attachment and the impact of disrupted relationships.
- Family time, transitions and endings.
- The emotional labour of moving between people and places.
Supporting children when things feel difficult
Reflect on the adult’s role in helping children feel understood.
- Regulation, dysregulation and what adults communicate when children are struggling.
- The secure base model.
- Playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy: PACE.
- Trauma-informed care and sensitive practice in the routines of the home.
Connect theory with what happens on shift
Reflective exercises help staff make connections between the ideas explored in training and their everyday interactions with children. Longer, full PACE training is also available as part of the bespoke offer.
