Attachment training for teachers

Adoption UK is leading a campaign to boost schools' awareness of the attachment needs of adopted children.

Adoption UK is speaking to hundreds of schools over the coming weeks to find out what they need to make their teaching staff attachment-aware.

This drive is part of our campaign to provide all teachers with knowledge, practical strategies, access to training and a network of support through our schools' membership programme on attachment.

All adopted children will have experienced attachment disruption, often as the result of maternal deprivation, neglect, illness, multiple carers, abuse and frequent moves through the care system.

These early experiences can often lead to behavioural, physical and emotional difficulties that play out in a school environment, which is not always attuned to their needs.
