He has developed a range of training programmes that he has delivered across the UK and Europe and facilities reflective practice sessions for professionals from across Oxfordshire.

In part two, Dave introduces a story of one young gentleman and the difference attending Mulberry school made. Dave also discusses the connections the school has maintained with old pupils and some of the feedback they give to the school.
The typical length of the placement is two to three years and Dave explains that this time is used to understand the trauma the child has experiences. The pupil then moves on when they are ready to progress.
