The PACE approach, developed by Clinical Psychologist Dan Hughes, offers a practical, trauma-informed way of responding to the everyday challenges faced by children and young people with trauma or attachment difficulties.

PACE helps professionals move beyond behaviour management alone, providing a clear relational framework that reduces conflict, increases emotional safety, and supports consistent responses across teams.

Begin with the PACE Mindset to establish shared understanding and language, followed by the four highly practical PACE in Practice modules. Completing all five modules supports sustained change, helping organisations embed PACE consistently into practice and improve outcomes for both staff and children.
