Trauma-Informed Custody Webinar Series, Supporting Care Experienced Young People

Care-experienced young adults are overrepresented in custody, yet staff often feel underprepared to understand the impact of trauma, placement instability, and early adversity on behaviour, engagement, and resettlement outcomes.

This three-part live online webinar series is designed specifically for custody staff, including prison officers, safer custody teams, healthcare, and education providers in the secure estate.

Across the series, participants will explore:

• The overrepresentation of care-experienced young people in custody

• Trauma, behaviour and survival responses in prison environments

• Practical trauma-informed strategies to improve engagement and reduce conflict
