Course Details

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) course provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of how challenging experiences in childhood can affect development, behaviour and long-term wellbeing. The course begins by exploring childhood and family structures, helping learners understand the diverse environments in which children grow up.

Learners are then introduced to Adverse Childhood Experiences, including the types of experiences that can have a lasting impact, and the ways these experiences influence emotional, social and cognitive development. The course emphasises awareness, early recognition, and the importance of a supportive environment in mitigating negative outcomes.

Finally, learners will develop strategies to improve outcomes for children affected by ACEs. This includes approaches to building resilience, fostering positive relationships, and implementing practical support within educational, care, or community settings. The course is suitable for professionals and carers working with children, enabling them to respond sensitively and effectively to children facing adversity.
