What emotionally based school avoidance is.

Risk factors and warning signs.

A practical assessment process to help you get to the heart of what’s happening.

Ways to work with young people AND their carers.

How punishing their behaviour will never help and what to do instead.

Through following the journey of Saskia, a fictional young person and her struggles with school attendance you will discover new and innovative ways to assess, support and engage young people.

Based on hundreds of case studies, a research project and a group programme which resulted in 25% improvement in attendance for every person after only six weeks we will explore an approach that you can use to make a real and lasting difference.
