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.
