“This is a remarkable achievement. Like Batman’s Utility belt for teachers. So many practical, wise, inspiring, and achievable ideas are packed in here. I can imagine this becoming as indispensable for teachers as Gray’s Anatomy is for doctors…” – Stephen Fry
“If you want a book to assist with your work with traumatised children, choose this one. It is the best!” – Professor Peter Fonagy OBE, Chief Executive, Anna Freud National Centre for Children & Families
“Humane and grounded in science, this book could change lives.” – Sir Norman Lamb, Chair of Maudsley NHS and Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition
What does trauma-informed teaching really look like in the classroom, and can we really achieve it?
Maybe you, like many other teachers, will reach the end of a busy day feeling exhausted, deskilled and less than keen to dive into a book on the theory of trauma. Luckily you won’t find any complex theory or jargon in this book, but you will gain an understanding of how small humans develop, how perplexing behaviours can be explained and learn inclusive strategies that will help all children in your classroom and school. Part 1 provides you with an explanation of what trauma-informed teaching involves. Then, Part 2 lists an A-Z of issues and behaviours for you to flip to in your busiest moments, ranging from Aggression and Lateness right through to Learning Challenges and Zzz (sleep issues).
Gain new understanding into the children in your classroom with this book offering you strategies to better support every child’s mental health and resilience.

As a school SENDCo, The A-Z of Trauma Informed Teaching is the all-in-one resource I have needed for a very long time! This book is an incredibly easy read yet it unpicks what are incredibly complex behaviours. It explains challenging behaviours all schools are experiencing and provides clear, practical advice to support the school team. What I love most about this book is how it has children at the heart of it, children who need us to understand them when they don’t understand themselves and don’t have the ability to communicate what they need from us. This is what makes it an absolute essential resource in every school. It is relevant from early years through to high school and it gives me, in my role, a renewed energy, knowledge and practical next step to support both my colleagues and our ever increasing number of children with either early trauma or neurodivisty. I am already using this book as CPD to support all staff, including caretakers and admin teams who work with our children. Thank you to those who have taken such care and time to create a tool that provides practical approaches and helpful support that actually benefits all children, in every setting.

This book should be read by anyone wishing to understand and support children’s distressed and confusing behaviour. Part 1 details the reasons behind the difficulties we may see and helps us ‘climb into their world’. Part 2 lists an A-Z of the most common issues. It is a comprehensive but easy read offering the practical application (which is so often missing from a lot of training on the same topic), written by authors who clearly understand the present difficulties and limitations in all educational settings.

This book is so useful for teaching staff supporting trauma or neurodivergent children who you quickly run out of ideas for. Their behaviours can be complex and alarming however this book will help you understand behaviour, be curious about it and enable you to begin to unpick and support these children.

The A-Z of Trauma-Informed Teaching is such an important book; so clear and well written. It’s quick and easy to pick up and put down, dip into and top up your reserves when you are feeling compassion fatigue.
It is the ‘go-to’ manual that every teacher and school governor should have and every PGCE student should be given. I highly recommend this book. It’s easy to read & packed full of useful knowledge. A must have for anyone working with children and young people.
by EB
This book is excellent and I wish it had existed when I first adopted. It is a treasure trove of information for all parents and professionals working with children who have experienced trauma. The layout enables the reader to look up particular issues and use strategies to support the young people. Underlying this book are the authors’ hearts for the relational in education and to promote understanding of how children’s behaviours express their emotional states and how we can all support them.
