School Attendance and Parental Responsibility
Our aim is to provide information, case studies and opportunities for the sharing of good practice on school attendance in England as part of the Government's aim to raise educational standards for all, and to provide Local Authorities, Schools, Headteachers, Teachers, School Governors, Police Authorities, Social Services, Parents, Magistrates, Youth Offending Teams and Local Group information on school attendance issues and share examples of good practice that have been introduced by individual schools and LAs.
