Working with Danielle has been transformative for our school. Following the training she delivered to our whole staff team, including governors, we are already noticing an impact on our children. Children are beginning to articulate their feelings and self-regulate more easily. Staff feel confident to talk to children who are suffering with incomplete trauma cycles. We also asked her to work with parents and this is having a positive impact on the relationship we have with our families and enabling parents to better deal with negative behaviours at home.
Danielle has also worked with staff on a personal level and helped them to deal with their own trauma and that of their own children. This, in turn, has had a positive impact on staff morale and wellbeing and ultimately staff retention.
As a school, we believe that a heightened awareness of trauma in children is imperative to their safeguarding. A big thank you to Danielle and her team from all of us at Hapton!
