SEND Transformation Programme and Emotional Based School Avoidance

As part of the SEND Transformation Programme, an aspect of this work is to focus on supporting children and young people who are experiencing Emotional Based School Avoidance (EBSA), that can lead to long term non-attendance if not identified and supported at an early stage. Work is currently taking place to identify the services that offer support to children, families and schools around this cohort of children, and to provide a clear map or pathway of where schools can go to for support around EBSA. In addition, we’d like to hear from schools, as to what has worked well for EBSA, what barriers they face when supporting a child with EBSA, and what, moving forward, what resources, interventions, support or services would help settings in meeting the needs of children with EBSA?
