Mrs Bridges, Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead, contributed to a guide focussing on Emotionally Based School Avoidance. The guide has been created to support pupils at risk of missing school due to social and emotional difficulties.
Emotionally Based School Avoidance: How to get persistently absent children back into school provides three action plans for schools to support primary and secondary school pupils at risk of avoiding school due to:
- Caring responsibilities at home
- Bullying and friendship difficulties
- Pressure to achieve in schoolwork and exams
It also features additional advice for supporting neurodivergent pupils.
You can download and read the guide below.
