Schools will work with us to arrange and provide alternative provision for children and young people who are too ill to go to school because of ongoing medical conditions or other health issues.
Visit GOV.UK for information and guidance on illness and your child's education.

Some children struggle with attendance due to anxiety, undiagnosed needs and behavioural issues. It is important to discuss these issues with the school and work together to make it easier for your child to attend school.
Visit Essex SEND IASS for advice and guidance on how to help your child cope at school or watch our video about understanding and supporting school attendance difficulties:
