Antser has been working with Hampshire County Council and Isle of Wight Council (IOW) Children’s Services to trial pioneering virtual reality (VR) technology, to improve both staff and their foster carers’ understanding of the impact trauma, child exploitation and trigger trio issues can have on the outcomes for children and young people.

Antser collaborates with social work teaching partnership to prepare a new generation of social workers
Zoe Yeomans, Lecturer in Practice Learning at Staffordshire University Social Work said: “Real-life placements help prepare practitioners for life as social workers. Throughout the pandemic, unfortunately, our students and NQSWs have had very few opportunities to experience placements. The knowledge that comes with that is invaluable, and so many students have not been able to access these real scenarios. Our students have primarily been focusing on situations they may face and learning how to understand their emotions whilst remaining professional. This partnership with Antser has been so beneficial to us as our social workers have been able to gain the vital knowledge and skills needed to carry out their jobs correctly and safely” .

Cambridgeshire Virtual School uses innovative VR programme to improve educational outcomes for children and young people
“Using the VR has enabled us to create the empathic shift that we need school colleagues to feel, so their understanding of the relational trauma our care-experienced young people have gone through is enhanced, in a way that talking and reading about it doesn’t provide. Feedback from schools and settings has consistently mentioned how moving the VR experience is and how it has given them the young person’s viewpoint powerfully. Using the VR headsets has enabled us to deliver memorable training which has had an impact on how schools support care-experienced young people.” Jo Lyness, Advisory Teacher at Cambridgeshire’s Virtual School for Care Experienced Children
