Pooky Ponders – Big Questions with Brilliant People
How can schools take a trauma informed approach post pandemic? | Stuart Guest
In today’s episode I’m exploring the question ‘How can schools take a trauma informed approach post pandemic?’ with Stuart Guest.
Stuart has over 13 years’ experience as a head teacher and is a father of a birth child and two adopted children. He has developed trauma friendly approaches at his school and has seen the positive impact this can have on pupils, families, staff and outcomes for his school.
I’ve brought this episode forward in my schedule as I couldn’t wait to share it with you. Listen to the end where Stuart’s closing thoughts left me lost for words and with a massive lump in my throat!
Enjoy the show …
