Have you ever worked with a child who struggles with behaviour, emotions, or communication—and wondered what they might be going through beneath the surface? For many children, these challenges are often linked to trauma, which can significantly affect their development, learning, and wellbeing.

Our Child Trauma Care Course provides structured theoretical training in understanding childhood trauma, recognising its impact, and applying trauma-informed approaches to support children effectively. Whether you work in education, childcare, healthcare, or simply want to build awareness, this CPD-accredited course equips you with essential knowledge to respond with confidence and care.

Across the UK, professionals in schools, nurseries, and support services are increasingly required to understand trauma-informed care to support children’s emotional and behavioural needs. With research showing that a significant number of children experience adverse childhood experiences, developing knowledge in child trauma care has become both valuable and necessary.

Study fully online at your own pace, complete conceptual exercises, and earn a CPD-accredited certificate recognised across UK workplaces—demonstrating your understanding of trauma-informed approaches and child development.

Whether you’re searching for a child trauma care course UK, trauma informed care training, or childhood trauma awareness course, this training provides a strong foundation to support children more effectively.
