Who Owns Attendance? How Local Authorities, Trusts and Schools Can Build System-Wide Inclusion
how can we work together to support children and young people who are struggling to attend school, while maintaining their connection, belonging and access to learning?
This webinar brings together Local Authority, Trust and school perspectives to explore one of the biggest challenges facing education today: how can we work together to support children and young people who are struggling to attend school, while maintaining their connection, belonging and access to learning?
With persistent absence and Emotionally Based School Non-Attendance (EBSNA) presenting increasingly complex challenges, effective attendance and inclusion support requires collaboration across the education system.
The panel will explore where responsibilities lie, how Local Authorities, Trusts and schools can work together, and what effective early intervention looks like in practice — from identifying emerging attendance difficulties through to maintaining curriculum access and connection, and supporting reintegration.
The webinar is free to attend, and all registrants will receive a recording after the event.
What we'll cover
Who owns attendance? How responsibilities are shared between Local Authorities, Trusts and schools — and where effective collaboration is critical.
The role of Local Authorities in supporting complex attendance and inclusion needs, including medical absence and EBSNA.
How LAs, Trusts and schools can identify children and young people before absence becomes entrenched.
How we maintain curriculum access, connection and belonging when a learner cannot physically attend school.
Who is this webinar for?
This is designed as a practical leadership discussion rather than a product webinar, with opportunity to reflect on what truly inclusive education systems need to look like moving forward.
