Trauma-Informed Intake, Consent and Referral

Explain. Ask permission. Offer choice. Go at the student’s pace.

Ethical practice requires teachers to recognise both the scope and the limits of their professional competence.

Sustained intensive practice can surface difficult material, which is why our teachers train within a scope of practice and know when to refer to a health professional. That referral pathway is part of the standard, and it is one reason to choose a Registered Teacher.
