Trauma Informed Practice Certificate

Trauma-Informed Practice Course — One to one tutor

Understand trauma. Change how you care.  Learn from tutor-> online.

Trauma is far more common than most professionals realise — and it shapes how people behave, communicate, and respond to care. Without trauma awareness, well-meaning practice can unintentionally re-traumatise the very people it's trying to help.

This CPD-accredited online course gives you a practical grounding in trauma-informed practice — developed by experienced clinicians and delivered as a structured, face to face workshop with live tutor.

What you'll learn:

• What trauma is — acute, chronic, complex, and developmental trauma, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)

• How trauma affects the brain, body, and behaviour — the science made simple

• Recognising trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn — and what they look like in real settings

• The core principles of trauma-informed practice: safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment

• Trauma-informed communication and handling disclosures safely

• Avoiding re-traumatisation in everyday care — from environments to routine procedures

• Vicarious trauma and self-care — protecting your own wellbeing

How it works:

1. Book your course with one to one tutor

2. Complete case scenario — apply what you've learned to a realistic practice scenario

3. Receive your CPD certificate within one week of successful completion

Who is this course for?
Nurses, healthcare assistants, allied health professionals, social care staff, support workers — anyone whose role brings them into contact with people affected by trauma. No prior knowledge required.
