Understanding school attendance difficulties and supporting recovery
When a child is struggling to attend school, the instinct is to focus on getting them back through the door as quickly as possible. But attendance without safety is not progress, and the harder we push, the more stuck things tend to become.
This recorded CPD session gets underneath what is really driving school attendance difficulties, and what children need from the adults around them when school feels impossible. It draws on professional expertise, practical strategies and lived experience, so you can move past attendance targets and focus on the kind of recovery that lasts.
What you’ll learn:
- Why “can’t” not “won’t” changes how you respond
- How the shame cycle traps children, families and staff
- What recovery looks like beyond the register
- The early signs of progress that are easy to miss
- What children need most from the adults around them
- How to build honest partnership between home and school
Who this is for: Parents, carers, teaching assistants, SENCOs, pastoral staff and school leaders supporting a child who is struggling to attend school.
