The SABDEN Way

SABDEN is committed to research and evidence informed practice. The 2022/23 SABDEN Research and Development Project was set up to collate and disseminate current research into trauma-informed practice and related interventions and further develop ‘The SABDEN Way’. The following report:

• Summarises key research on trauma, neurodevelopment, and learning
• Summarises key frameworks and interventions that take a trauma-informed perspective on child development and learning
• Sets out the core principles of trauma-informed practice
• Proposes an outline for a new Sabden-wide training programme.
