The Graham Bell Lifetime Achievement Award
The Graham Bell Lifetime Achievement Award was launched in 2018 at the annual SIRCC Conference in recognition of an outstanding contribution to or within the residential child care sector. We are delighted that Edwina Grant, Chair of SAIA is the first recipient of this award, in recognition of her thirty years experience of working with children and families in a range of contexts from residential care to family therapy. Nominated by Moore House, Edwina is an independent chartered Educational Psychologist and certified DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) practitioner, consultant and trainer. |

Welcome to SAIA
Attachment Matters for All We are committed to promoting better experiences of attachment to enhance our relationships between ourselves, our children and our society. We believe that improving the existing understanding of and attitudes towards attachment is essential for altering Scotland’s current record on poor health and socially destructive behaviours. Membership of SAIA is open to all carers, parents and professionals. |
Scottish Attachment In Action (SAIA) is an interest, campaigning and learning and development organisation.
We are committed to promoting better experiences of attachment in the Scottish population in order to effect positive changes in policy and practice in education, care and health.
We believe that it is important that our way of working is both connected and collaborative, reflecting the vision and values we cherish. Since our formation in 2006 we have played a key role alongside partner organisations in placing attachment onto the political agenda and have contributed to fundamental policy and legislative changes.
The voices and experiences of our members - parents, carers, professionals and academics - have been essential in communicating the fundamental importance of attachment across the life course. We believe, however, that despite this increased understanding a robust focus on creating and supporting positive attachment relationships remains essential for altering Scotland’s record on poor health and socially destructive behaviours.
