Abstract in brief

  • Childhood adverse experiences (ACEs), such as maltreatment and household stressors, negatively affect children's health and school attendance, but community resilience factors like support and opportunities can help buffer these effects.
  • The study found that children with more ACEs are more likely to experience poor health and absenteeism, yet strong community support assets—like fair treatment, supportive friends, and trusted adults—significantly reduce these risks.
  • Enhancing community resilience alongside preventative public services may lessen the impact of ACEs on child health and education, even if eliminating ACEs entirely is challenging.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) are a significant factor in underachievement in education - but must not be a rationale for NOT screening disadvantaged children for Neurodiverse needs & learning challenges. ACE’s are not the ‘only’ measure https://t.co/aujBlttfal https://t.co/H5Xm4TbJ4c
