SCHOOL AVOIDANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2024


23rd - 27th September

RE-EDUCATE. RETHINK. RECOVER.

“School refusal” is fast becoming one of the most challenging areas of education, health and care for children and young people. Parents are put under pressure to ensure their children attend school, whilst professionals seldom have expertise in “school refusal” and, by default, calling education welfare officers or threaten fines.

We are dedicating this week to exploring the issues surrounding school avoidance and attendance difficulties.

OUR MISSION...

School attendance difficulties are a huge concern that is widely misunderstood, we have made it our mission to change that narrative and to help the learner long-term and ease the stress of everyone involved.



"School refusal" is fast becoming one of the most challenging areas of education, health and care for children and young people. Parents are put under pressure to ensure their children attend school, whilst professionals seldom have expertise in "school refusal" and, by default, calling education welfare officers or threaten fines.


We have made it our mission to change the narrative and reframe what we see at "school refusal" and attendance difficulties. Our aim it to look at the bigger picture and find a way for us all to achieve the best possible outcome.


This week is dedicated to re-educating, rethinking and recovering.



Re-Educate

We must flip the narrative of “school refusal”.

Rethink

Instead of saying the child/young person WON’T attend school we should be saying they CAN’T attend.

Recover

We must look to what WE need. What's been missing that's caused this to happen?
