New Action for Children report on school attendance

Action for Children has published a report into school refusal which looks at the experiences of parents and carers in the UK. The report includes conversations with parents from Action for Children's Parent Talk support service.

Findings show: parents whose children are refusing to go to school, or struggling with school anxiety, don’t know where to turn for help; there are challenges accessing specialist support such as mental health services; and parents struggling with school refusal highlighted the impact of home learning during the pandemic.
