A Born at the Right Time e-learning course
Rooted in lived experience. Informed by research. Designed for action.
Born at the Right Time's passion for changing the landscape for people with disabilities includes being determined to change the reality of parent carer trauma, how it impacts parent carers, practitioners and services.
With that in mind, this short 1-hour e-learning awareness course is especially for teams and organisations determined to understand Parent Carer trauma as part of their trauma informed services to disabled children and their families.
What’s this course about?
Parent carers of disabled children and young people are often navigating not just the complexities of care—but the cumulative trauma of doing so in overstretched systems built on passionate and often under-resourced practitioners. It is about having a shared language to understand more fully the seen and unseen factors at play.
This evidence-informed, lived-experience-led course helps professionals in SEN, health, and social care recognise and respond to the trauma parent carers experience—improving outcomes, communication, and collaboration.
Its is available for group bookings of over 20 delegates.
👥 Who is this course for?
SENCOs, teachers, and education staff
Health professionals and therapists
Social workers and family support teams
Early help, keyworkers, and voluntary sector staff
Anyone working with families of disabled children and young people
If you engage with or impact families in your role, this course is for you.
What you’ll learn
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Define Parent Carer Trauma (PCT)
Understand the impact of trauma on families, professionals, and services
Define Systems Generated Trauma (SGT)
Start to build safe, compassionate, and effective communication with families
Develop a personal action plan to support trauma-responsive practice
💡 Why it matters
When trauma goes unrecognised, it shows up as:
Misunderstanding and mistrust
Escalated needs and complaints
Avoidable conflict between families and professionals
Burnout and frustration for everyone involved
This course helps organisations to take steps in changing that story and create a different kind of culture. Teams will leave with a shared language, clearer understanding , and practical tools to reduce harm, build trust, and support better experiences.
