Some students arrive at school already carrying a story about adults, a story shaped by inconsistency, rupture, or disappointment. In this episode, we explore how teachers can build trust with students who find it hardest to give. Through trauma‑aware, relationship‑centred practice, we unpack the micro‑actions that create safety, the boundaries that build predictability, and the quiet, steady behaviours that help students learn to trust again.A grounded, compassionate guide for teachers doing the slow, powerful work of becoming a safe adult for students who need one most.To learn more about Caroline and her 4 Dimensions Framework, head to her website:https://carolineblackley.com/Or check her out on social media here:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-mIZhtX4Ewqlsd1ZQXn6dw?view_as=subscriberFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/Caroline-Blackley-Four-Dimensions-1245912172087988/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-blackley-080667108/
