Education Welfare Service

How we support families and pupils

  • Conducting home visits to help parents/carers to remove the barriers creating school attendance issues
  • Working directly with pupils to solve difficulties affecting their rights and responsibilities within the education law
  • Supporting families when transferring schools
  • Helping parents to understand their rights and responsibilities within the education law
  • Acting as a link between home and school when communication has broken down
  • Providing a link with other agencies on behalf of families
  • Providing information on education otherwise than at school

However, persistent failure in ensuring your child attends school regularly can lead to prosecution.
