Research Matters
As we further develop our resources for our members, we have added a section on research to our website. We are delighted to share with you some of the innovative work led on by our Patron, Professor Helen Minnis, and from other associates of SAIA. We would welcome links to any published research that you are aware of or participated in, particularly related to attachment and developmental trauma.

📋 Learning Together about Making Choices Project 2016 Dr Lio Moscardini, Heather Baldry, Dr Hazel Whitters
This was a three-year action research project carried out by the University of Strathclyde and funded by The Robertson Trust, the KMPG Foundation, NHS Scotland and Glasgow City Council. The project ran from 2011-2014 in two Glasgow primary schools. The aim of the project was to develop and sustain a secure base for learning for children as they moved through mainstream education. The initial focus was on children who had experienced highly adverse socioeconomic circumstances in their early lives. The mid-to-long term aim was to recognise and develop this support as appropriate for all children. Initially the project team worked with teaching staff in two primary schools which had received a small group of children moving into Primary One from the Jeely Piece Nursery, Castlemilk.

📋 Cortisol secretion in children with symptoms of Reactive Attachment Disorder 2013
Maltreated children with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) have severe problems with social relationships and affect regulation. An association between early maltreatment and changes in the daily rhythm of cortisol secretion has already been reported formal treated toddlers. We sought to find out whether such changes were apparent in school-age children with symptoms of RAD, who had experienced early maltreatment but were currently adopted in well-functioning families.
