My 14 year old dd is in yr10 and has quite low attendance at school 86%. Her main problem however is going in late her school is 40 mins away by bus( she refuses to consider changing schools) and if she misses the 8.15 bus ( there are earlier ones that she had no problems getting on until last year) then the next one is an hour away meaning she is an hour late, sometimes two if she misses that one! Obviously the school is very unhappy with this and has tried everything but doesn't seem to be helping. Now they want to refer us to Early Help which I'm not sure would help? Really don't want to get involved with social services anyone know anything about this?
