The UK Trauma Council has put out some materials which may be useful for schools and for parents. Please note this is NOT to imply that all children will experience traumatic reactions or be traumatised by COVID19 (and or other experiences) but we also are aware that both in the shorter term and longer term some of our children and YP will be impacted by these events.
