Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) — such as abuse, neglect, domestic violence, or parental substance misuse — can have long-lasting effects on children’s brains, behaviour, and development. Early years settings are uniquely positioned to be a protective factor. This course gives practitioners the knowledge to understand trauma’s impact and the strategies to nurture resilience in children who need it most.
