Education Attendance Team
Our mission is to promote regular school attendance and to reduce persistent absence. We work with schools, families, and other agencies to identify and address barriers to attendance.
We are here to support every child's right to a full-time education. Our service works with families, schools, and professionals to ensure children attend school regularly and receive the support they need.
Our team includes:
- Education Attendance Officers
- Safeguarding Leads
- Elective Home Education Officers
- Children Missing Education Officer
We collaborate with social care, health services, and educational settings to provide a holistic approach to attendance.
