Attendance Staff Training CPD

Wanting to get staff up to speed on Working Together to Improve Attendance and the role they play in supporting reducing pupil absence? This training bundle, which is perfect for INSETs, staff meetings and twilights, contains engaging and collaborative training materials plus real-life attendance scenarios to meet your attendance CPD needs.

Each one contains a three-stage situation that mimics the types of attendance issues that schools may encounter. First, staff can look at the initial picture presented to them and discuss what concerns around pupil attendance they may have. Then, further information is revealed, allowing staff to consider how they’d take action, as well as how other professionals and the attendance officer, manager, lead or co-ordinator can help. Lastly, staff can view the resolution and consider the next steps.

The scenarios cover the following topics:

• Bullying and Physical & Mental Health
• Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE)
• Finance
• Sickness-Related Absence
• Substance Addiction
• Young Carers

Each scenario has an accompanying PowerPoint that details the scenario in parts and the key questions for discussion, allowing them to be used interactively during a staff meeting, INSET or twilight.

Furthermore, there’s a PowerPoint called Working Together to Improve Attendance which highlights the key parts from the DfE’s own document that are applicable to teachers and support staff. This allows your team to gain a deeper understanding of why good attendance is important for every single pupil as well as considering the role that all staff have to play in reducing pupil absence.
