In essence we help you, in line with Ofsted requirements, to challenge and close the attendance gap. Working in full consultation with you we:

• Talk with and interview children and young people about their attendance
• Meet with parents / carers and families
• Case manage and prepare escalation procedures in line with statutory enforcement instruments for individuals causing concern
• Attend and represent you at multi-agency meetings and liaise with statutory services, housing and Children’s Services, and any other support agencies
• Identify, analyse, plan and review every area and aspect relevant to your school’s attendance
• Ensure attendance reports are up to date to meet any ‘one day’ notice of an Ofsted inspection. We also assist inPost Ofsted support, guidance and termly reports.
