Current education provision struggles to meet the needs of the most vulnerable young people: those with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

One More Life Chance provides practitioners in schools and other settings with the information they need to understand the difficulties faced by traumatised children both in school and in later life. It urges teachers and other professionals to respond with care and compassion and equips them with the tools to help children build resilience and manage the impact of their ACEs.

This book will help you to:

Understand the impact of ACEs on social, emotional and physical health Build relationships and begin the healing process with traumatised children and young people Provide therapeutic education for students affected by ACEs and encourage academic achievement Support children in attending school, improve their life chances and restore their ability to reach their potential

Reviews for One More Life Chance: A journey from trauma to transformation

‘Mark Escott has courageously given us an honest and heart-wrenching summary of his life and the way in which his experiences have driven him to develop a model of education that genuinely provides life chances where otherwise there may be none. One More Life Chance is a powerful reminder that our lives are shaped not only by the experiences we have but by the relationships within them.’ Suzie Franklin, Senior Consultant, Trauma Informed Schools UK ‘What Mark has experienced has become a valuable tool for helping others. Everyone connected with education and mental health needs to be provided with a copy of this book.’ Dr Chris Boyle, Associate Professor in Inclusive Education and Psychology, University of Exeter ‘Reading anger, understanding barriers that traumatised children face and the dialogue for misunderstood children are many of the insights that this book offers to the reader. The author presents his life story as the case study for arguing why the way education works needs to change. Children have the right to be understood and Mark helps you understand why traumatised children present anger to adults trying to help them.’ Alison Shorer, Founder and Director of Articulacy
