Online - The Relevance of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to Private Boarding Schools in the UK
@
In the UK, private boarding schools educate less than 1% of pupils. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have left an indelible mark on a generation now occupying some of the most influential jobs in the public and private sectors. This webinar explores how these individuals shape leadership, policy, and social dynamics today, not just historical interest.
In this webinar, we will explore the untold stories of children who were sent to boarding schools when they were young, often against their will, and subjected to emotionally and physically abusive environments. Individuals who endured these conditions have become prominent in government and the private sector.
By attending this webinar, you will gain unique insights into how these adverse childhood experiences may have shaped the personal lives of these individuals and the broader social implications, such as their professional conduct and decision-making. This is a rare opportunity to explore the profound impact of trauma that persists beneath the surface, influencing how those in leadership roles interact with others, make decisions, and view the world.
