Not Fine in School: Exploring the Drivers and Barriers of School Refusal

Venue: Hallam Conference Centre, London

Date: 19 Apr 2023

Synopsis: This one-day masterclass has been designed by experts to explore the complex issue of school refusal to support you to improve attendance within your school.

Details:

Learners who refuse to attend school present complex and demanding issues for schools, the learners themselves and for people at home. This workshop will explore the drivers to school refusal and the barriers that school refusers face.

Barriers often relate to unmet Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (diagnosed or suspected), physical or mental illness, bullying & assault, trauma, excessive academic pressure, overly strict behaviour policies, a missing sense of belonging, and an irrelevant curriculum.

School attendance barriers are poorly understood, incorrectly managed, & are compounded by current challenges within education, health & local government systems. This problematic response often has severe consequences for both child and family.

This workshop will provide practical, evidence-based strategies to help schools work with school refusers to overcome these barriers and engage with learning again.
