Today I am speaking with consultant clinical psychologist, Dr Warren Larkin.
Dr Larkin is a specialist in the area of Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACES and implementing trauma-informed approaches to organisations.
Today we explore trauma. What is it?
We also talk about ACES. What are the 10 ACES and how do they link to boarding school? Could we do a study into the Adverse Childhood Experiences at boarding school?
He shares how those who have been through childhood trauma can be negatively impacted as adults and the financial cost on society
He also talks about how doing routine enquiry into ACES with patients can support survivors to heal.

- What is trauma-informed practice?
- How do we improve educational setting to be more trauma informed?
