Read our new blog here: Making Energy Visible: Using Energy Accounting to Support School Attendance

Exploring emotional barriers to attendance requires creating space for CYP to share their lived experiences in ways that feel accessible to them. Traditional conversations may not capture the full picture, especially when CYP struggle to verbalise their challenges or feel misunderstood

Understand and explore how children and young people's energy can be depleted and replenished through their daily activities. How we can identify emotional barriers to school attendance, possible patterns that may otherwise go unnoticed and make meaningful adjustments to support CYP in school.

Understanding attendance - counts!

Amidst the growing pressures on schools & families to ensure consistent attendance, we're delving into crucial strategies https://www.edpsyched.co.uk/ebsa-schools-resources . Our aim is to empower schools with extra tools, insights, & resources to support & understand the growing issue of Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) through a compassionate approach.

Language matters! By using "Emotionally Based School Avoidance," we aim to create a shared language, fostering understanding. However, we respect that each child's journey is unique, and families may have different words to navigate their child’s diffiuclties attending school.

Beyond labels, it's about empathy and support. Every child deserves an environment where their emotional well-being is prioritised. Let's cultivate a space that allows open dialogue, respecting individual narratives and fostering a supportive community.

In our collective efforts to support all children and young people experiencing diffiuclties attending school, let's amplify voices, share stories, and build bridges of understanding. Together, we can create schools that nurture emotional growth, ensuring every child feels seen, heard, and supported.
