Wanted to start a thread on school attendance issues. Maybe your child is resisting going into school, complaining of tummy or headaches, maybe school have told you they are "fine" once they're in? Are school refusing to authorise absences which you believe may be due to mental health issues or other unmet needs? All of these things happen daily for thousands of families up and down the country. Please use this thread to discuss your school attendance issues but also have a look at our guide

And consider joining the closed peer support group on FB "Define Fine: parent peer support for school attendance issues"
