This training session aims to explore barriers to children and young people (CYP) attending school and consider approaches to promote their wellbeing and attendance. This session considers effective practice for settings and is suitable for both senior leads and key adults working with CYP directly. 

The training also considers collaborative practice to support parents/carers and provides opportunities to problem solve cases.

Workshop Objectives:

• To consider what is meant by ‘barriers to attendance’ and the barriers CYP can experience.
• To consider and problem solve factors associated with school non-attendance (push and pull).
• To consider effective practice to support CYP, the importance of effective and collaborative working with parents and application of approaches.

Booking: One booking per school
