A webinar presented by the IBA Professional Wellbeing Commission, supported by the Academic and Professional Development Committee

In March 2024 the IBA Professional Wellbeing Commission published the Guidelines for Wellbeing in Legal Education to provide an evidence-based and sustainable approach to improving the wellbeing of law students and staff. This webinar builds on Guideline 9, which calls for the adoption of trauma-informed approaches in legal education and training

The webinar will set out the key tenets of trauma-informed approaches, provide practical guidance and tips for the implementation of this approach in practice and discuss the implications for legal education providers and the profession more generally. It will argue that such an approach has the potential to tackle some of the key causes of the current ‘wellbeing crisis’ which has been identified within the legal profession.
