Description
The PACE model prioritises creating and maintaining secure attachments with children and young people who have undergone early-life traumatic relationships. Caregivers are encouraged to examine approaches they have used in the past when caring for these children and reflect on why other methods may not yield the desired results.
This training module significantly emphasises developing meaningful relationships with children to establish a secure and reliable connection before addressing their behaviour. The PACE model has been widely recognised as an effective care model for foster care agencies and residential settings.
Throughout this course, and the following five modules, we equip you with practical resources and strategies for effectively evidencing your therapeutic engagement using PACE. We also offer recording methods that can help you effectively showcase your work to Ofsted and other partner agencies.
Please be reminded that this course is the first module of a five-module series. Please book all five modules to enable an understanding of the critical principles and implementation of PACE. Book your training bundle here.
** We recommend that workers take this training annually to ensure that practices stay fresh and are implemented in day-to-day dealings with young people. Refreshers also help to mitigate against the worker reverting to the more typical styles of parenting they may have experienced themselves **
