Tackling Truancy in Schools

A Practical Manual for Primary and Secondary Schools

About this book

First Published in 2004. This pack on tackling truancy in schools is specifically written for use by teachers and for other caring professionals in the field, such as, education welfare officers, education social workers and educational psychologists. It brings together in twenty-four concise units the latest knowledge and good practice in the prevention and combating of truancy and other forms of non-attendance at school. Some units focus on understanding the causes and issues involved in truancy while others focus on the Government's latest initiatives. The ideas contained in the units are specifically designed to help schools, LEAs and other caring professionals meet the Government's new targets for reducing truancy. In order to help readers make the best use of the pack and its materials: each unit begins by providing a summary of its contents; each unit ends with a range of professional development questions or tasks which can be undertaken during training events. The pack can be read alongside Ken Reid's book Truancy and Schools, also published by Routledge.
