Dr Sheila Redfern, head of family trauma at the Centre, and Dr Theresa Schwaiger, a clinical psychologist who works for the centre’s family trauma service, will be among the speakers offering guidance to nursery staff around how to support children in their setting.

Camilla Rosan, head of Anna Freud’s Early Years Programme, said, ‘When we surveyed nursery staff last year, 69 per cent said they had experienced working with children affected by trauma or abuse, and 71 per cent said they had worked with children affected by domestic violence. But this isn’t a subject that’s covered much when it comes to early years training. So, in this webinar we’ll be letting early years staff know some different ways that they can support and nurture these children when they join their setting.’
