This episode really moves us into the final phase of this series of ”Taking Action” – (look out for an announcement about future plans soon). We are going to be ”looking in” with Warren Larkin to see how Scotland looks from an external perspective. We are then going to look back with John Carnochan and Karyn McCluskey, before we look forward with the return of Suzanne Zeedyk

 Warren Larkin is remarkable. As I describe him in the programme, he is a Renaissance Man of the ACEs movement. You will get details on him from his website

https://warrenlarkinassociates.co.uk/ and it is impressive

His own education story is fascinating = https://warrenlarkinassociates.co.uk/2018/01/08/about-warren-larkin/

During Covid, Warren headed up a Resilience Task Force to try to mitigate long-term impacts.  Here is a link to one of those videos in 2020:

He is particularly well known for his work promoting Routine Enquiry about Adversity in Childhood – the REACh model.  He talks about this in his podcast.

Here is the work he is doing to build trauma-sensitive schools now:

He is a lead partner in a project working in schools to help them develop an understanding of trauma informed practice.  Again, he talks about this in his podcast.

That pedigree and his wide experience make him a perfect guest to offer an external perspective on the ACEs movement in Scotland. He delivers that with passion, humour, insight and depth.  I know I always say this, but I always mean it, this episode is worth your time!
