The importance of looking at all areas of a young person's world.
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.
​
​

You will have:
A comprehensive assessment process
​
Ways to make adjustments in and out of the classroom
​
How to find out what is impacting and what you can do to help
​
Creative approaches to support
​
Ways to include your parents and carers and how leaving them out can make things worse

This is for you if:

You work in education/ directly support young people and their families
​
-
You don't believe that parents should be punished for non-attendance
​
-
You don't think that this is due to bad behaviour
​

You DO use trauma informed approaches in your work
​
-
You value the impact of relationship and connection
​
-
You want the young person to be placed at the heart of the support.
