New learning resource on attachment theory

Published in News on 1 Jun 2020

We're delighted that Sally Wassell (Independent Child Care Consultant and Trainer) worked with us to create a learning resource that explores the evolving meaning and application of attachment theory.

The concept of attachment provides a lens for understanding and responding to the needs of children and their caregivers in the context of their life and relationships.

The resource includes a summary of current policy implications and practice points. There are also video perspectives from Kenny Toshack (Adoption and Fostering Team, local authority) and Corry McDonald (Parenting and Assessment Service, North Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership).
