SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Practice: Assessing for Recovery Conference
DESCRIPTION:Early bird tickets are £70 and available until 14th October \nJoin The Mulberry Bush & The Institute of Recovery from Childhood Trauma for this two day conference where we will be presenting four assessment models for progress towards recovery from trauma. \nOver the past 20 years\, ‘trauma-informed’ approaches have become increasingly popular as a means for reducing the negative impact of childhood adversities and supporting child and adult mental health outcomes. These approaches are informed by a set of principles that recognise that experiences of trauma are prevalent and can negatively impact the daily functioning of many individuals. This awareness is then assumed to help practitioners offer services that are more welcoming and less likely to inadvertently re-traumatise service users. Examples of common trauma- informed activities include trauma-awareness training\, trauma screening and service redesigns aimed at addressing the impact of trauma on individuals. Trauma informed principles have also more recently begun to be adopted by schools\, the police and other frontline services to improve service quality more generally. \nStudies show that practitioners are often quite enthusiastic about trauma-informed principles and believe that awareness of them will substantially improve their ability to engage clients and help them. However\, studies also show that there is a notable lack of consistency in how trauma-informed principles are applied in practice and their value to practitioners and clients is yet to be rigorously evaluated. \nThis conference will present four assessment models for assessing progress towards recovery from trauma developed by practitioners working with children who have experienced complex trauma. It will enable participants to compare and contrast the approaches and look for commonalities as well as providing an opportunity to explore each in more depth and apply the principles to their own work. \nDuring this event – Learning objectives;\n\nTo learn about some of the existing assessment approaches available for assessing the efficacy of trauma informed practice aimed at promoting recovery\nTo discover the basic ingredients of Trauma Informed Practice required to promote recovery\nTo gain experience in developing a ‘theory of change’ to guide your practice delivery model\nTo gather ideas about how to build in an evaluation of your own services to be able to demonstrate that what you are doing works.

SUMMARY:Leading school attendance improvement summit: Working together to implement change
DESCRIPTION:Cost plus VAT. \nFollow the conference on Twitter #AttendanceStrategy2023 \nSchool attendance has never faced so much scrutiny. Government have announced a series of measures designed to drive school attendance back to pre-pandemic levels – and beyond. At the start of the year the consultation School Attendance: Improving the consistency of support was launched with measures announced to improve consistency through a better\, more targeted multi-agency approach. \nIn May 2022 the new Working together to improve school attendance guidance was published and set out the expectations on schools and took effect from September 2022. \nThis essential conference will bring you up to date on all of the proposed changes\, when to expect them and what they will look like in practice. It’ll help you prepare for what you need to do now\, to stay ahead of regulation change and ensure you are able to take a fresh look at your whole school approach to improving school attendance.

SUMMARY:UCL Children and young people growing up in poverty: what can educational psychology contribute?
DESCRIPTION:Reduced rate: £15 for TEPs \nIn (2016) Psychologists Against Austerity wrote a briefing paper outlining the ‘damaging psychological costs of austerity policies’. Their report summarised five ‘Austerity Ailments’\, ways in which austerity policies impact specifically on mental health: \n\nhumiliation and shame;\nfear and distrust;\ninstability and insecurity;\nisolation and loneliness\nthe experience of being trapped and powerless.\n\nSince then we have lived through a global pandemic which has exacerbated existing health and social inequalities (Marmot\, 2020) and we are now in the context of a cost-of-living crisis. Given research findings highlighting the impact of poverty on children’s development (Cooper & Stewart\, 2021; Shonkoff & Garner\, 2012)\, alongside systemic impacts\, what should educational psychologists being doing to support this agenda; how can we work with our communities\, schools and families to improve the experiences of those we work with? \nThis conference will provide participants with a chance to hear about theory and up-to-date research around the impact of poverty on children and young people and their families\, so that they can contribute to debates around social justice and can develop practice in the profession and in their working contexts. \nPlease see our event flyer with the programme for the day. \nBook a place at the event.

SUMMARY:EPs for Material Change: Community Learning Day
DESCRIPTION:Exploring inequality\, psychology and making change.\nEducational Psychologists for Material Change (EPMC) welcomes you to our online event exploring inequality\, psychology and making change. \nEPMC believe that inequality is not accidental; it is produced and reproduced by the systems we live and work within. To end inequality\, material change is needed: a redistribution of wealth\, resources\, and power across society. \nThis virtual Community Learning Day (9 January 2026) invites psychologists to come together to explore the intersections between inequality and psychology. Through dialogue\, critical reflection\, and collective learning\, we will consider how our profession can contribute to genuine social transformation. \nSpeakers (TBC) will include psychologists\, those in education\, and those with lived experience of inequality in all its forms. We are particularly committed to centring marginalised voices and building spaces of solidarity. \nA community event\nThis is a DIY event\, hosted by EPMC without support or funding. The event is based on 3 fundamental principles. \n\nAccessibility for all\nSpeakers are paid for their time\nEquity over equality – giving according to ability\, receiving according to need\n\nTo honour these principles\, the event operates on a “pay what you can” model\, with suggested donations. \n\n£0 – For those facing financial difficulty (we do not want you to donate to the event\, even if you feel compelled to).\n£20 – For those in stable employment (e.g. you are a qualified EP or worker in secure employment)\n£50+ – For those with significant financial security or wealth (e.g you have significant savings/inherited wealth).\n\nWe hope that those who can afford to pay do so\, to enable those who can’t afford to attend for free and support the fair payment of speakers. \nFunds will be transparently managed through Open Collective\, ensuring all income goes directly toward paying speakers and keeping the event cost-neutral. A full financial breakdown will be published after the event. \nJoin us as we reflect\, organise\, and imagine what it means to move beyond awareness toward material change
