Innovating Minds delivered 26 licences in 3 GM
boroughs in 21/22 with great success reported in the evaluation
document. Schools continue to report an increase in anxiety and
behaviour related incidences and require ongoing support from well
trained early help professionals.
The VRU are looking to support schools to help their children
through provision of safe, supportive environments that allows a
sense of control over their distress while supporting children to
build strength and resilience. A trauma informed approach is most
effective through early identification and intervention
