School Attendance Legal Training Document

Work has been undertaken with a Headteacher colleague who is also a Magistrate, to develop simple legal training packs for schools and Magistrates.

The Magistrates pack is currently going through the formal process with legal colleagues at the courts and when issued will provide Magistrates with a greater understanding of the impact unsatisfactory school attendance can have on both the individual child and the school at times of inspection.

Attached is the Schools’ document giving information for school staff. If there are any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
