In trauma and attachment-aware schools, every interaction matters. That philosophy shapes the way school staff teach, support, and care for young people, especially those who’ve experienced adversity. But what happens when a supply teacher steps into your classroom for a day, a week, or longer? How can you ensure continuity of care, even when staff change?
Jessica Parker – one of our Flourish trainers and subject matter experts– has developed a practical, one-page cheat sheet designed specifically for secondary schools to share with temporary staff. It offers a fast, accessible introduction to your trauma and attachment-aware approach.
Our Attachment and Trauma Training Programme provides schools with the tools they need to be attachment and trauma aware.
The cheat sheet covers five key principles supply staff can quickly apply to help them create a calm, consistent and compassionate learning environment from the moment they arrive.
This tool isn’t a replacement for whole-school training – but it’s a brilliant way to help everyone working with your pupils get up to speed, fast. For pupils who thrive on trusted relationships and predictable boundaries, that continuity can make all the difference.
Download the cheat sheet here, share it with your agency or in your onboarding pack, and keep it ready for your next cover teacher.
