About

Hi and welcome to Pod-CACHE, the portable CPD and best practice podcast from CACHE, presented by Dawn Mulvaney - Editor of www.CACHEAlumni.org.uk, the free professional membership network for those working in Care, Early Years and Education.  This week Dawn learns about the Brain Story from Dr. Elizabeth Rapa and Dr. Louise Dalton. Dr Louise Dalton is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, working at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford. She has over 20 years experience in the NHS, working clinically with children, young people and parents. Dr. Elizabeth Rapa is a senior postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Psychiatry and has worked on a wide range of projects based in the UK and around the globe investigating ways to improve outcomes for children and their parents in situations of adversity. Louise and Elizabeth talk to Dawn about how we each have our own 'brain story' and explain how this story of our brain's development can help us to understand those around us and support better outcomes for children, families and individuals and how we can embed this knowledge in our everyday interactions and practice.  If you would like to join CACHE Alumni, the association for professional caregivers, you can find us at www.cachealumni.org.uk. Membership is free and you'll find lots more examples of best practice, great sector insight and opinion from subject specialists across Care, Education and Early Years as well as discounts and access to other member benefits.  You can find the Oxford Brain Story website here for support with building brains for lifelong health; http://www.oxfordbrainstory.org You can follow Dawn on Twitter at @DawnConnieM and on LinkedIn as Dawn Constance Mulvaney for information and updates about www.cachealumni.org.uk
