This comprehensive wellbeing resource provides schools with a clear, practical, and trauma‑informed framework (in bulletpointed form) for implementing Emotional Available Adults (EAAs). Designed for pastoral teams, behaviour leads, SEN/SEMH staff, and whole‑school leadership, it explains the theory behind EAAs, how they support regulation, and how they transform school culture through relational practice and restorative approaches.

What this resource covers:

What EAAs are: Clear explanation of the role, purpose, and psychology behind EAAs

Trauma‑informed theory: Attachment, polyvagal theory, emotional regulation, and relational safety

Daily EAA practice: Check‑ins, co‑regulation, safe‑space support, restorative follow‑ups

Restorative practice: How EAAs strengthen repair, reintegration, and relational accountability

Whole‑school implementation: Structures, routines, shared language, and staff training

Common pitfalls: What schools must avoid when embedding EAAs

Real case studies: Four detailed examples of UK schools using EAAs with measurable impact

Printable tools: Role descriptions, check‑in templates, regulation plans, restorative scripts, shared language guides, and impact trackers
