Abstract

Chapter 8 describes parent/carers’ awareness of trauma and how their involvement and interaction with schools is essential to enable trauma-informed policies and practices. The challenges associated with trauma arising from parent/carer behaviour through child abuse are briefly covered. This chapter also discusses the potential for trauma-informed parenting approaches to be delivered in schools to support children impacted by trauma, leading to improved child outcomes and family functioning.
