You Said, We Did - Emotionally Based School Avoidance

You Said...

Help, I just can’t get my child into school.

We Did...

We have raised how we are hearing about rising numbers of children experiencing difficulty attending school. Our voices have been listened to and a working group was set up to look at this issue which is referred to as Emotional Based School Avoidance (EBSA).

The EBSA working group will focus on providing better information, advice, and guidance for Parent Carers, children and young people, schools, and the local authority, to ensure that there is improved and consistent support for our families.
