Supporting School Attendance: Understanding Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) and what to do about it

{{ category }}

 

This whole day training programme will provide schools with support to develop their Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision around school attendance, with a focus on Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA). Drawing on research and current good practice, the training will provide an awareness of the early indicators and risk factors associated with EBSA and how schools can intervene early to promote positive outcomes for school attendance.

This training is for school SENCos, pastoral leads, school-based family support workers, and school attendance leads.

This course is open to Devon LA Schools and Academies and Special Schools.

 

As part of this programme, school staff will be trained in using:

  • The ATTEND Framework - an intervention for school staff to use collaboratively with parent/carers and pupils aged 5-16 to identify any ‘barriers’ to attendance and create an action plan of support through an ‘assess, plan, do, review’ approach.
