This two-day course forms the foundation level of a programme of training on 'Attachment Based Practice with Families'. It replaces the previous 'Application of Attachment Theory' 2 day course. Practitioners who have attended the Application of Attachment Theory course are eligible to book directly on to the second part of the programme: 'Attachment Based Practice with Families, Part 2 - Adolescence, Adulthood and the Family System'

Part 1 of the course focuses on infancy and early childhood, moving up to the school years. It introduces contemporary attachment theory, its links with child development, neurobiology and the emerging field of narrative medicine. 

Attachment theory is essential for understanding how human beings function in relationships and how people develop social and psychological difficulties. It is also fundamental for understanding what constitutes psychological wellbeing.

This programme extends participants’ leadership and management capacity, linking contemporary theory and research with the real concerns of busy Children and Families Teams. Over 6 monthly sessions with David Shemmings OBE PhD you will follow a continuous, reflective approach to learning, ensuring excellence in safeguarding children and in promoting their welfare. Between each session participants will be expected to undertake two or three focused tasks for discussion at the following session.
