This is a free session offered by the Educational Psychology Service. The Educational Psychology Service applies psychological theory and research to problems and complex situations, and helps to meet a wide range of child and adolescent developmental needs, including special educational needs.

Emotionally-based school refusal (EBSR) is an umbrella term used to describe children and young people (CYP) who have severe difficulty attending school due to emotional factors. There is a broad range of research that has outlined the negative impact of EBSR on outcomes for C/YP. However, it has been found that intervening early and working with parents, schools and CYP themselves is associated with positive outcomes for CYP who have severe difficulty attending school.

What does this course cover?

• Help staff distinguish and understand the difference between school-refusal and truancy
• Explore motivating factors for non-attendance
• Strategies for schools and parents to support C/YP refusing to attend school
• Supportive strategies for C/YP to relieve anxieties around attending school
