Relational Practice
Trauma-Informed and Attachment Aware School
Attachment Aware and Trauma Informed (AATI) practice is a school-wide approach that emphasises the importance of emotional regulation, trust, and positive relationships. It is based on research from psychology and neuroscience and aims to create environments that support positive life outcomes for students. AATI schools are characterised by their focus on understanding and addressing the emotional needs of students, which can lead to increased engagement, stronger learning outcomes, and reduced reliance on sanctions.
We have reached the threshold for the Bronze Award to recognise that we are a Trauma-Informed and Attachment Aware School. All our young people benefit from the strategies that we implement daily to show empathy, understanding and care. Our work continues in this important area and we look forward to continuing this journey with you all.
