"The EBSA training was amazing. The power point and the EBSA tools, that we can use, will be a great assets to our school" Jill Harrison, Hemlington Hall Academy

Emotionally Based School Avoidance is rarely just about a child ‘not wanting to come to school’. This course helps staff understand what may be driving the difficulty, recognise the early signs before absence becomes established, and respond in ways that build safety, belonging and trust. Delegates will leave with practical strategies they can use immediately — from listening and identifying barriers to adapting support, planning successful returns and taking a whole-school approach. The aim is to help schools move away from simply focusing on attendance figures and towards understanding what the child needs in order to feel safe, supported and able to engage with education.
