Spanning critical stages of child development from pre-birth to adolescence, our programme covers a range of key and emerging topics including:
Abuse, Neglect and Trauma
Exploring themes of early-life trauma, identity issues, childhood adversity, peer influence, and school life, this series examines how these factors can shape a young person’s behaviors, choices, and experiences. Used to enhance the understanding and application of trauma-informed, PACE and therapeutic approaches.
Child Criminal Exploitation
Joe’s story sheds light on the realities of criminal exploitation and the impact of gangs and county lines on a young person’s home and school life. The series explores how adolescents can be groomed and coerced into drug-related activity, highlighting risks such as peer pressure and cuckooing. It also examines how adult responses can either escalate situations or help to safeguard vulnerable youth.
Child Sexual Exploitation
Aisha’s journey offers a powerful look into a young person’s vulnerability to sexual exploitation, grooming, drug trafficking, and other contextual dangers. The series highlights the multifaceted risks faced by young people and examines the pivotal role adult responses play in either perpetuating silence or supporting disclosure.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that presents lifelong cognitive, emotional, and behavioural challenges. Estimates suggest that 1 in 13 children are affected—with up to half a million young people in England and Wales not yet receiving the support they need. Developed in collaboration with the National Organisation for FASD and Cambridgeshire Virtual School, this immersive experience, told through the eyes of an unborn child, raises awareness and helps professionals better understand how to support those affected.
Social Media and Digital Platforms
Step into the shoes of a teenager navigating a world where every click, like, and scroll has impact, exploring the powerful role social media and online interactions play in an adolescent's life. Through this lens, this series provides a glimpse into online risks, including grooming, cyberbullying, revenge porn, body image, mental health, digital gifting and targeted advertising, whilst addressing the unconventional ways groomers exploit platforms—highlighting how online environments can pose serious concerns for both children and professionals.
Knife Crime and Serious Youth Violence
This series provides a layered exploration of the behaviours and risks associated with knife carrying and serious violence among adolescents. Beginning with a knife-point street robbery, the narrative explores how incidents are shaped and amplified by social media and peer pressure. It also highlights the impact of police presence on young people, and how social situations can escalate rapidly when young people are carrying weapons. Designed to prompt awareness and discussion, the series supports education around prevention, intervention, and safeguarding.

VR to support 1-1 and Group Interventions with students
Young people today face enormous challenges: 15,750 cases of child criminal exploitation and 13,860 involving sexual exploitation were reported in the year ending March 2024, alongside data showing that 1 in 20 children over the age of 12 have carried a knife in public, and in 2024 alone, police recorded 150 knife crimes causing injuries in schools across England and Wales*. These challenges are compounded by the digital world, which can impact mental health and expose children to harmful content.
Through carefully designed VR scenarios based on these realities, we create opportunities for open dialogue between young people and trusted adults—helping them to spot and navigate risks, promoting early intervention and guidance to help youth make safer, more informed decisions and feel supported to do so.
VR to support trauma-informed approaches for professionals
The impact of trauma is complex, affecting both students and educators. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) - potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood, including experiences of violence, abuse, or neglect, and societal factors such as the influence of the digital world and youth violence, can significantly impact a student's behavior and overall wellbeing.
To help education professionals provide effective care, support, and guidance to children from all backgrounds, we offer a unique approach to trauma-informed training and practice.
Our programme supports experiential learning—allowing professionals to experience the impact of trauma, and the effectiveness of PACE and Therapeutic practices first-hand.

What Education Providers say
about Cornerstone VR
What Education Providers say about Cornerstone VR
I have been very impressed by the impact the VR content has. Participants frequently comment that viewing the situations from a child’s perspective helps them reconsider the depth of the trauma that children experience, and understand better the enduring legacy it leaves.
The VR headsets were a powerful tool and developing trauma and attachment training for the wider school will be a priority, especially reaching out to our parent/wider community.
It's not trying to reinforce what people already know, but it's about getting them to really see it and live it, through the child's experience, that is the difference. Until you have done the VR yourself and experienced it, you cannot compare to a normal trauma training.
The heightened senses meant it was as close to feeling something first-hand as possible. Someone talking about it does not convey the senses, like fear, that you would feel if you were faced with the issues being described
Invaluable in informing staff around trauma responses in children and supports children in our school context, helping children and all school staff to build stronger relationships and support with PACEful strategies.
I am more aware of childhood trauma and how this can affect a child’s behaviour as they grow up. This has made me alter my approach when tackling tricky situations with children who may have experienced or are experiencing trauma.
