Does anyone know of any Trauma friendly/Attachment friendly school audits at all that they are happy to share please??? So that schools can self evaluate how well they are supporting children and young adults, families etc who have experienced ACEs??

My organization is in the process of researching organizational self assessments for schools.  We have found tools but not specific to schools. We are in the process of creating one.  I would be very interested in learning from others as well.

Hi, Kate McCoy at the Wisconsin Dept. of Public Instruction is a wonderful resource:  Katherine.McCoy@dpi.wi.gov

The National Council for Behavioral Health has an organizational self-assessment tool that is for trauma sensitive schools as well as technical assistance for schools.  Please contact Karen Johnson at 202/684-7457.

Yes, there are materials associated with Compassionate Schools / The Heart of Learning and Teaching (Washington state Compassionat Schools 2015) including a school staff assessment.  There's a rubric with 10 components (title of document is Compassionate/Adversity Informed Schools - Compassionate Learning Community Assessment Rubric).  I don't have a direct link, so you can try searching online.  Good stuff!

Good luck,
