Attachment Research Community

ARC is a membership charity open to all schools and other learning settings, Virtual Schools, Psychologists and Higher Education Institutions who commit to supporting the development of best practice and understanding of attachment within education. The mission of ARC is that all schools and other education settings are trauma-informed and attachment aware. Becoming a member of ARC demonstrates a commitment to this vision and we will support you on your journey. Members are able to follow the ARC Pathway, utilising the online platform with ARC Audit tool and Development Plan, and capturing activity on their bespoke Ofsted aligned matrix. Members can access up-to-date research, resources, training providers and a community of members. We also offer formal, national recognition through Bronze, Silver, Gold and through to our centre of excellence called Learning Hubs supported by our ARC Timpson Awards. Becoming a member of ARC will open up professional and educational pathways within a membership platform with readily available resources, regional workshops, panel discussions and virtual events that allow our members to network and support each other. As well as regional events, members will benefit from priority booking and discounted fees for ARC’s annual conference, which over previous years has successfully hosted 2000+ delegates and showcased a list of renowned keynote speakers.
