Working Together to Support children who have experienced trauma and loss, including Looked After and Adopted Children
Children
and young people who have experienced early life trauma can experience a
range of challenges in their school or setting.
PAC-UK’s
Education Service offers a range of services to enable schools, parents
and guardians and education and social care professionals to meet the
needs of permanently placed children.
The
Department for Education is increasingly recognising the long term
impact of trauma and loss for children who live in adoptive or special
guardianship families. As part of their investment in supporting
adoptive families, the DfE has awarded a grant to PAC-UK and Adoption UK
to develop and implement strategies to improve the adoptive familys
school experience and therefore increase their academic and personal
success.
