Caar (Children,
Adolescents, and Animals Research) is a specialist research group within the
Centre for Applied Developmental Psychology in the School of Health in Social
Science, University of Edinburgh. We work closely with the Scottish Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) and other animal welfare organisations.
The first of our 2020 series of reflective
workshops will highlight different approaches to
listening to children’s voices, considering how this might be best achieved in
the sensitive realm of animal cruelty. We will discuss findings from our own
work, recent research and practice, to examine how trauma-informed approaches
help children to share their experiences.
Our workshops are specifically aimed at practitioners/professionals
involved with child and/or animal welfare (animal welfare education, science
education, teaching, social work, social care, police, juvenile justice,
health). This workshop is also suitable for researchers/students working with children (especially in the area of ACES (adverse childhood experiences) or cruelty). It will be held at the University of Edinburgh from 2 – 4pm.
