Truancy and Attendance
The law requires good attendance at school. The Education Welfare Service works with schools, parents/carers and pupils to:
- Assess the circumstances which have led to irregular school attendance
- Implement a plan of action to support the child/young person and family to overcoming any difficulties
- Evaluate the outcome together with the child/young person, family and school, and reassess the situation
- Acknowledge and reward good practice and achievements
- Carry out truancy patrol in conjunction with Thames Valley Police
- Initiate court action on behalf of the Local Authority should the non-attendance remain unresolved
