It's vital that professionals and parents work together in learning more about school avoidance, its causes and how to help children and young people back into learning.
In 2025 we launched our first ever dedicated week to professionals' development in the field of school attendance difficulties.
Whilst this week is developed by teachers for teachers, it will provide critical learning opportunities for all professionals that work with children and young people. It's vital we come together and focus on co-production to improve long term outcomes for today's learners.
Our learning takes place via the SEND Training Institute, of which you can become a member for just £19.99 per month per licence. There is much more on offer, too, including online support for professionals, hundreds of courses and everything available to watch on demand at a time that suits you.
Need more licences? Not a problem, we have discounts for 10+, just get in touch with our colleagues at the SEND Training Institute for more information - hello@sendtraininginstitute.co.uk
The week begins with SEND Training Institute manager Lindsay Galley providing you with a live Q&A on School Avoidance and School Attendance Difficulties.
The rest of the week is action-packed, as you can see below!
You can watch these courses live, and get involved in the chat-based questions and discussion or you can watch on demand - at a time that suits you.
This week is completely for you. If you watch live you can tailor the discussions.
