New to the Role Attendance Officer

Venue: Online

Date: 6 Feb 2023

Synopsis: This course is an essential overview of the roles and responsibilities of a School Attendance Officer. Aimed at those new to role, those who have been in post for some time but not had opportunity to access training, and those who need an update of current guidance and best practice.

Details:

Improving school attendance is at the forefront of National and Local agendas. Evidence shows the links between school attendance and attainment/outcomes and the links between attendance and safeguarding.

National Attendance Data shows that absence and persistent absence has increased, and we know that there are children who struggle to attend school on a regular basis. We know that the reasons behind non-school attendance can be complex.

The DFE has published new guidance for schools and local authorities “Working together to improve attendance” that makes explicit the roles and responsibilities of schools to identify and respond to absence and poor attendance and to seek to remove barriers to attendance.

This course will provide the information to ensure that you understand these roles and responsibilities and will draw on research identifying best practice.

Who Should Attend 

School Attendance Officers, school staff who have an operational lead/ role in attendance.
