UKTC Insight Series

The UK Trauma Council’s mission is to radically improve the help children and young people receive across the UK following traumatic events and experiences. We want to see a world where people and communities are knowledgeable, skilled and confident in nurturing and protecting those who have experienced trauma.

To support our aim, we have developed a live webinar series providing expert insights into important trauma-related areas affecting children and young people. All webinars are recorded and shared with registered delegates to access 30 days after the event.

What’s coming up

Poverty and trauma – Inequality, stigma, and mental health

Join us for a webinar on the connections between poverty, stigma, and mental health.

Dr. Beverley Barnett-Jones (Nuffield Family Justice Observatory) and Professor Tracy Shildrick (Newcastle University) will explore the impact of intergenerational inequality and how evidence-based practice can support vulnerable families.

Whether you are a practitioner, policymaker, or researcher, this session will provide valuable insights into how we can collectively work towards more just and supportive systems.

Trauma and learning disabilities – Navigating complex childhood needs

Children and young people with learning disabilities are at greater risk of trauma, yet their experiences are often overlooked or misunderstood. This webinar explores how trauma presents differently in this population, the challenges in recognising distress, and how stigma and diagnostic overshadowing can hinder support.

Dr Laura Bartlett and Beck Ferrari will offer expert clinical insight and lived experience on responding to trauma with compassion and skill. Chaired by David Trickey, this session aims to equip professionals and carers with practical strategies and evidence-based approaches to provide sensitive, effective care in complex situations.
