Here is what Fran says about the workshop she offers:

The aim of this two day workshop is to explore child abuse - emotional, physical abuse and domestic violence - from a child’s perspective. The training will enable you to develop an understanding of the impact of abuse on children’s emotional development, to identify the signs of hidden trauma in a child’s description of their life. We will explore ways to engage children to tell us of their experiences. During the workshop we will have an opportunity to explore the role of child protection in working with children and young people.
