The Learning Institute have worked on a number of projects, both liaising and in partnership, with Devon and Cornwall Police. We supported the relaunch and roll out of training for key adults in schools in conjunction with the charity Operation Encompass.

Devon and Cornwall Police are a current partner in our Erasmus+ Project ‘Aces High’. Working together we aim to raise and promote understanding of toxic stress and better understand the impact of inter-professional working particularly between education, police, local authorities and other children’s services on children facing adversity.
