What is an attendance support panel? and will it magically stop DD from getting ill?

As tbh I can't see the point of it?

Yes she has been ill a lot
Yes I know she keeps missing school

Yes I would 'fix' it if I could - but unless I can put her in a bubble she will get bugs/illnesses & I can't make them go away

She is taking double vitamins (water soluble so she will wee an excess away) & aloe vera - goodness knows what else they expect us to do

She has asked for extra work from all her subjects to catch up

Well exactly & I work from home so a child while I am at work really helps me

I've already said this on other threads but as the parent of a child in an at-risk group for SF (and other respiratory bugs) I get so angry when schools appear to be nagging parents and encouraging them to send children in when they are ill. All for the sake of 'attendance records'. There is no point and you have my every sympathy if they are getting at you. As if, frankly, the vast majority of mums would keep a child hanging around at home if they were well.

End of rant. sorry.
