Training A-Z

AATRIButeS is a proactive, preventive, relational approach to supporting children developing pro-social behaviour based on promoting an attachment aware, trauma informed culture of mutual respect, compassionate curiosity and empathy where relational ways of working are prioritised. AATRIButeS will help professionals to provide opportunities for second chance learning for those CYP with a history of early adversity or developmental trauma in order to close gaps, promote inclusivity and ensure that recovery is promoted. AATRIButES will help practitioners to notice what they do on their best days to meet needs and help children learn the appropriate behaviour for a particular context and thereby increase confidence in practice so that everyone has ‘more good days at school’.

Gloucestershire Healthy Living and Learning have been offered a unique opportunity to invite secondary teachers and lecturers to visit Gloucester Crown Court whilst it is in session. This will provide educational professionals with a unique insight into the English Criminal Justice system, support and inform the teaching of The Law, PSHE and Citizenship. As you know our ‘Getting Court’ scheme has been offering this opportunity for students for many years. Judge Lawrie is very keen to offer teachers the same chance! There will be an opportunity for teachers to ask questions of Judge Lawrie during the morning.

Message to all teachers from Judge Lawrie:

“Getting Court has now been running for 10 years. Different schools attend Gloucester Crown Court each month and learn about the rule of law and how the Criminal Justice System works. They watch real cases and see real defendants being sentenced. Sometimes they observe a jury returning with a verdict.

What has become very clear is that teachers who themselves attend know very little about how the Criminal Justice System works and those who have attended have found the morning both interesting and rewarding. I am passionate about explaining to all-comers how the system works, how it affects everyday life, its strengths and weaknesses and the type of people who find themselves in the dock.

Please come along to Court. I think you will find it personally interesting, and it will give you information to help keep young people informed about our judicial system”.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis, initially at one place per school/college. If you would like to attend this event at Gloucester Crown Court then please select 'Book Now' and complete the form.
