Our Education Welfare Officers work with our academies, families and pupils to promote and support good school attendance and to help resolve any issues that may be impacting on attendance and welfare at school. We also liaise with the local authority regarding unauthorised holidays in term-time, persistent absence, child employment, elective home education and legal issues relating to school attendance. Issues may be escalated to the Education Welfare Officers when academies have tried to resolve issues but feel that the child or family need additional support or involvement.
