Currently children who do not attend school due to mental health conditions such as Anxiety are classed in the same way as truant children. GP's are not able to sign them off from school and parent's are reliant on CAHMS to intervene. This is often a long process and parent's can face fines and threats of imprisonment. Early intervention at school and at home can help before it gets to this stage. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/222843
