In-Person and Online - Emotionally Based School Avoidance and ACEs - London
@2 Langley Lane London
This hybrid event will bring together key voices to deepen understanding of how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) affect children’s engagement with education, and to explore practical, compassionate responses that make a real difference.
The programme brings into focus three essential perspectives: parents and young people with lived experience, education professionals, and therapeutic practitioners. Together, we will examine barriers to engagement, highlight approaches that help, and consider challenging questions, such as whether a child’s avoidance is the problem or whether aspects of the educational system are contributing to it. Participants will have opportunities to share experiences, reflections, and learnings via Q&A and open dialogue.
