Training, Supervision & Consultation

At Clover Child­care Ser­vices, we are pas­sion­ate about sup­port­ing pro­fes­sion­als who work with looked after chil­dren. Through our tai­lored train­ing, super­vi­sion, and con­sul­ta­tion ser­vices, we help car­ers and prac­ti­tion­ers devel­op the skills and con­fi­dence need­ed to build mean­ing­ful, ther­a­peu­tic rela­tion­ships with chil­dren affect­ed by trau­ma.

PACE Training – DDP-Informed and Fully Accredited

We offer PACE train­ing, a DDPi-approved and ful­ly cer­ti­fied course, deliv­ered by staff who are rec­om­mend­ed PACE train­ers through the Dyadic Devel­op­men­tal Psy­chother­a­py Insti­tute (DDPi).

We’ve proud­ly deliv­ered train­ing to:

• Fos­ter car­ers

• Res­i­den­tial child­care pro­fes­sion­als

• Social work­ers

• Psy­chol­o­gists

• And oth­er pro­fes­sion­als work­ing in ther­a­peu­tic and trau­ma-informed care

These ses­sions have been deeply reward­ing for us, and we are always grate­ful for the oppor­tu­ni­ty to sup­port such impact­ful and com­pas­sion­ate work.

Flexible, Accessible Training Format

Our train­ing is deliv­ered over three short days (10:00am – 2:00pm), either online or in-per­son, designed to fit around school sched­ules and work com­mit­ments.

We go beyond the train­ing itself by offer­ing ongo­ing super­vi­sion and con­sul­ta­tion to ensure the skills are embed­ded into day-to-day prac­tice. While many pro­fes­sion­als under­stand the the­o­ry behind trau­ma and attach­ment, we recog­nise how chal­leng­ing it can be to put that the­o­ry into prac­tice—espe­cial­ly with­out the space to reflect, rehearse, and receive sup­port.

Ongoing Consultation & Supervision

To deep­en the learn­ing and strength­en long-term impact, we offer a series of four con­sul­ta­tion ses­sions per year for all par­tic­i­pants who com­plete our PACE train­ing. These ses­sions pro­vide:

• Con­tin­ued sup­port from our expe­ri­enced prac­ti­tion­ers

• Oppor­tu­ni­ties to reflect on prac­tice

• Guid­ance in apply­ing PACE prin­ci­ples in real-world sce­nar­ios

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)

For fam­i­lies and care teams where appro­pri­ate, we also offer Dyadic Devel­op­men­tal Psy­chother­a­py ses­sions, involv­ing the child and their main attach­ment fig­ure. This ther­a­peu­tic process may also include:

• 1:1 sup­port and super­vi­sion for the adult attach­ment fig­ure

• Guid­ance in respond­ing ther­a­peu­ti­cal­ly to the child’s emo­tion­al and behav­iour­al needs
