Are you equipped to respond to children who have experienced trauma?

Over two thirds of a UK classroom has suffered one or more adverse childhood experiences. This can manifest in challenging and harmful behaviours, negatively impacting the child, their community and those around them. Cherished's outstanding ACE Training improves professional practice and our ability to care for vulnerable children and adults.

“As part of our continuing commitment to empowering young women in the Midlands and creating a trauma informed society, we now offer Adverse Childhood Experience training to volunteers and professionals working with children.”

Cherished has delivered ACE Training to over 5000 professionals since 2016

A new course was designed in 2018, specifically for education professionals.
