Meet Jane, a former Headteacher turned public service trainer, who has dedicated over 20 years to education across the Northwest of England.
In 2022, she took a leap of faith and started her own business, training schools and public services across Merseyside in Trauma-Informed Practice. To date, her work has impacted over 4,000 staff across five boroughs, with her training extending to over 1,000 police officers through e-learning packages.
Finding the Right Tool for a Delicate Subject
As an trainer, Jane understands the challenge of maintaining engagement, especially when attention spans are often limited to under 20 minutes. When tackling sensitive subjects like Trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and Attachment Theory, educators must strike a balance between providing valuable information and avoiding emotional distress.
That’s where VideoScribe comes in. We caught up to Jane to find out how VideoScribe is helping her explain complex topics.
Why Animation Works for Sensitive Topics
VideoScribe has allowed Jane to transform her training sessions by providing engaging, non-triggering visual explanations. By presenting complex topics in an animated, third-person format, she can ensure that her delegates absorb the information without becoming overwhelmed.
“VideoScribe helped me create animations that support education while removing the triggering aspect. Seeing things in the third person makes it easier to communicate delicate topics,” says Jane.

Simplifying the Complex with Visual Storytelling
Through VideoScribe, Jane illustrates intricate concepts like brain development, science, health, and attachment theory, seamlessly transitioning between them. What might be difficult to convey in words alone becomes clear and digestible through animation.
“When I first started using VideoScribe, I found the camera movement a bit tricky to master, but I soon got the hang of it. Now, I can zoom in and out, create boards, add sound, music, and use it for a wide variety of training purposes.”
Positive Impact and Enthusiastic Feedback
The response to Jane’s animated training sessions has been overwhelmingly positive. Public service professionals and police officers alike have found her approach engaging and easy to follow.
“Delegates really enjoy the animations—it makes complicated subject matter easier to understand. I’ve even had people ask if I was the one drawing them!” she shares.
Why Trainers Should Consider VideoScribe
For those hesitant about incorporating animation into their training, Jane has one piece of advice: give it a try.
“It’s easy to create, describe, and animate concepts that would otherwise be tremendously difficult to get across. If you’re considering using animation for training, I’d definitely recommend VideoScribe.”
Through her innovative use of animation, Jane has not only enhanced the effectiveness of her training but also made complex, sensitive topics more accessible to those who need them most. Her story is a testament to the power of visual storytelling in education.
