The VRN continues to work hard to prevent exclusions and increase levels of pupil engagement and wellbeing by developing Trauma Informed practice across Lancashire’s education settings.
Progress this year means we are now working closely with all parties across Lancashire who advise and support school practice, ensuring
a shared commitment and understanding to promote and develop Trauma Informed practice. Representatives from the VRN are part of the Education Board and attend regular meetings.
In 2023, two schools were accredited with the ‘Working with Trauma Quality Mark’ by One
Small Thing and a further five schools are moving towards final submission early in Spring 2024.
This is bringing us closer to building a network of expertise and sustainability of Trauma Informed practice.
There are many schools across Lancashire that are now working in ways that can be described as ‘Trauma Informed’. The example below illustrates how a school’s integrated approach
to Trauma Informed practice has improved in- school pupil behaviour and engagement, pupil behaviour in the community, staff wellbeing and community reputation.
