Really looking forward to the latest Close Community event! This conference will explore the impact of trauma on the developing brain and the power of loving, healthy, emotionally available relationships within the lives of our children. Helping us to explore this topic will be speakers Suzanne Zeedyk Sarah Ockwell-Smith & Leslee Udwin - in the wonderful Radisson Blue! Yes it's an early years conference, but not just for the early years sector, and would highly recommend to anyone with a personal and professional interest in early childhood development. For my connections in the construction sector, a proportion of young people who enter our sector looking to have a successful career, most likely at operative or trade level, are likely to have experienced trauma in their early childhood in some form, and having a understanding of how this has, and will impact them, I believe will help equip us with knowledge and tools (excuse the pun) to support them in their employment journey, through their apprenticeship and support them to develop their infinite potential. I have heard frustrations from colleagues in construction (and I understand having faced recruitment challenges at Paradigm Landscapes to) about the level, and mindset of young people entering our sector....well lets do what we can to support those young people, help address the skill shortage we face, and build the future workforce we need to meet the demands of what looks like an very exciting future for our sector.
