Within this master class we will explore the DDP practice model and the context of culture, identity and experience of those working and living within residential homes. We will consider the complexity of supporting these children with histories of developmental trauma and their own unique identity, experience and cultural influences. This will lead us into a consideration of the importance of the key DDP principles of emotional connection, co-regulation and storytelling, and the helpfulness of the attitude of PACE (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy) to achieve this. We will consider how PACE can be cascaded throughout the residential home, bottom-up; top-down and beyond. This will include supporting and caring for the children, the staff, the practitioners and the managers.
