This essential session explores how Solicitor Advocates and those seeking higher rights of audience can adopt a trauma-informed approach in their advocacy, particularly when working with vulnerable clients or sensitive subject matter.
Attendees will gain an understanding of the impact of trauma on communication, memory, and behaviour, and learn practical strategies to adjust their advocacy style accordingly. The session will also consider how practicing boundaried-empathy ensures that clients feel heard and respected throughout the legal process. Ideal for those practising in criminal, family, and immigration law, or any area where trauma may be a factor.
Learning outcomes:
- Explain the core principles of trauma-informed practice and recognise how trauma can affect client behaviour
- Understand boundaried-empathy and how to apply it in practice
