Truancy and exclusion

We are committed to improving attendance and the achievement of pupils in North Somerset schools.

Our officers work closely with schools, parents and children to help minimise cases of truancy and to address attendance problems.

We also work in partnership with the police to interview children in public places during school hours and talk to their parents to find out the reasons for any absence.

If your child has been excluded from school we can provide you with support and advice.

The Education Welfare Officer linked to your child's school can visit you to discuss any concerns you may have about your child and help ensure appropriate support is available regarding their education.
