Vashti Wickers’s Expertise I am currently the trauma-informed lead for the NSPCC, supporting and providing expertise to the organisation on their journey to becoming trauma-informed across all delivery of services to children and young people, and across all staff and volunteers. I have been an independent consultant and trainer, with a focus on understanding trauma and the impact on our brains and our bodies for many years. I am passionate about improving our approach to working with those who have experienced trauma through a focus on trauma-informed and relationship-based practice. This includes in direct work with children and families, when delivering training to professionals and in providing individual services to those seeking support. More recently I was the training practice manager at Rock Pool, an organisation passionate about upskilling frontline professionals in trauma and trauma-informed approaches. I was responsible for developing, quality assuring and delivering trauma-informed training and programmes to a wide range of professionals across the UK. I continue to be an Associate for Rock Pool which gives me the opportunity to remain involved in the delivery of training. I am also an experienced social work strategic leader and manager with over twenty years of experience in statutory children’s social work. I have a significant amount of knowledge and expertise within the front door of children’s services in terms of developing Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hubs and single assessment child protection teams. As a successful Principal Social Worker within the sector, I have been able to become part of both regional and national partnerships focussed on evidence based models of best practice. I am motivated and driven to provide the best possible service delivery for children and families and to understand how excellent practice can be developed whatever the size and resource of the provider. I continue to maintain my social work registration and have enhanced this over recent years with becoming a qualified Clinical Supervisor, a Mindfulness Now teacher and a qualified QEC practitioner. I continue to focus on my learning and development and to keep informed about the most up to date research and literature in relation to understanding trauma and the benefits of trauma-informed approaches.
