Pleased to share that our paper on parents’ experiences of EBSNA is now published! It’s a bit of a ‘pinch me’ moment to see my thesis research in print! Special thanks to @NikkiCollingwo1 for all of your support along the way!

Attendance Matters!

But so do children…

Perhaps you've seen a similar poster?

Well, I propose a few changes; if we're going to award attendance I think we should at least be honest about what we're awarding.

Waking up today still reflecting on the wonderful sessions at yesterday’s Eastern Region Conference! Special thanks to @teamsquarepeg for the lovely shout out to my research! Feeling very blessed to have caught up with my amazing colleagues across the region 🥰 #twittereps

@RGriffithsEP Super proud of you!!

[Rachel Sawyer @RachelS_EP]

@NottsEPS Would love to hear more on this! We’re currently having this conversation in my LA and any ideas would be really helpful!

[Steve B @75ThunderRoad]

"Avoiding school" is such a misleading term.

The school attendance crisis?

It's a mental health crisis.

It's a SEND crisis.

It's a school funding crisis.

All of which began long before Covid but has been profoundly exacerbated by the pandemic.

After holidays, many children and young people are grappling with the return to school. Parents are sharing the struggle to get them there. Let's LISTEN, let's SUPPORT. @DrJerricah EBSA Horizons offers essential training for schools and educators to understand & effectively support emotional-based school avoidance. Join us in creating a more compassionate approach to improving attendance💙 #attendance #EBSA #edutwitter
