Developing methodologies for tracking the social and emotional development of traumatised children
Awarded the Mulberry Bush Studentship 2022, this research is developing our understanding of how to assess children's social and emotional development, particularly for those who have experienced trauma, so that practitioners can understand and help a child in practical ways.
About the project
The research builds on an earlier collaboration between researchers at the University of Sussex and practitioners at the Mulberry Bush School, developing innovative ways to measure the progress of children's social and emotional competencies in real world settings. It aims to identify what is needed to support learning from practice that leads to better outcomes for children.
