Guest Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hi I'm in the middle of writing an assignment for my degree on safeguarding,... i just wondered if schools have anything in place to track a child if they didn't attend/were absence for a while, do they have a policy that covers this? would someone look into their non attendance? Thanks for any information you can give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyjenkinz Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I work in a school in RBKC and we have an Education Welfare Officer (EWO) who constantly monitors the registers and attendance of children. I don't know any more than that i'm afraid x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sienna Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 My school has an automated system that calls parents/carers as soon as a child is absent. I haven't got a clue what it is called...If a parent/carer calls in and says why the child is absent then they don't get an automated call. I think our admin person puts the information from registers on to a computer and then the system does the rest. I'm not 100% sure exactly how it works though...guess I should find out one day when I have time. We also have an Educational Welfare Officer that gets involved where needed.

Guest Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks for all your replies, can i just ask if you have anything in place to aid transisition, if you have a child you have concerns about are you able to disclose these concerns to their new settings,as we also have confidentiality to consider.
