This is the national website for Attachment Leads in Schools.
Here you will find information on what attachment is, what attachment aware schools are and most importantly, profiles of the key education staff in the UK already trained up in advocacy and good practice, supporting pupils with attachment difficulties to settle to learn.
Whether you are a parent/carer hoping for support for your child, or a Key Adult wanting to know if there is anyone else out there doing what you do - this site is for you! You are not alone.
Many people up and down the country are now part of this inclusive revolution.
~~~
We are determined to ensure that pupils will no longer be misunderstood or excluded because of behaviours linked to having experienced toxic stress through relational traumas and losses.
~~~
We are determined to help more and more people understand that behaviour is communication. That behaviour can be understood and worked with when we look at it through an attachment framework. Our pupils are not mad or bad. They need our support and it isn’t complicated.
~~~
We can change our perceptions and we can change our ways of being, relating and doing.
~~~
Relationships really matter. Together we can support pupils with insecure attachment difficulties move towards learned security & genuinely thrive in the school context.
