1 Workshop series two
Strategies for protecting severely absent pupils
How do we strike the right balance between meeting some of our most vulnerable children's needs around attendance and keeping them safe? This workshop will explore the policy, pinch points and practice of effective safeguarding for severely absent pupils in school trusts. We will consider strategies that trust safeguarding leaders can adopt around data, information-sharing and collaboration with partners and take a practical look at what works for severely absent pupils, including the levers that trusts can use support DSLs in this increasingly urgent and complex area.
