Children Looked After: The Attach Programme (TAP) 2 Day Team Pupil Training
This training is part of an evidence-based suite of training available through the Primary Children Looked After Advisory Service. It is a two-day intensive, in-person training for School Named Contacts and Key Adults on trauma and attachment, relational approaches, and supporting Children Looked After. This is delivered jointly by our Psychology (BHSCT) and Education PCLAAS team members.
Learning Objectives:
This training builds on the learning in previous trainings provided by the Primary Children Looked After Advisory Service and is aimed at supporting an enhanced understanding of the experiences of our children who are Looked After, supporting relationship building between key adults and key children, and provides training on the use of PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy: Dan Hughes), and regulation, using case studies and experiential learning practices.

Subcover/funding arrangements:
•Subcover has been provided for the two days training, for teaching staff members attending.
•Schools have received funding for subcover based on the number of Children Looked After in the school. Please discuss how many funded places there are for the school with the school’s Assistant Advisory Office (AAO).
•A school may wish to send more people to the training than they have received funding for. We have not restricted the number of places available. A school may wish to use a child’s Common Funding Formula to pay for subcover for additional teaching staff to attend, which is acceptable. This can be discussed with the school’s AAO and agreed through the Personal Education Plan (PEP) process.
