Emotionally Based School Non-Attendance (EBSNA) - A framework for supporting Post-Primary Pupils.

This training is suitable for post-primary school staff who work directly with children, young people and families. It is particularly useful for SENCOs, those who work in a pastoral care role and any member of staff responsible for supporting attendance.

The training will be delivered across two sessions as follows:

• Session One aims to assist school staff in understanding EBSNA, including the factors that can contribute to it, and maintain it.

• Session Two aims to provide school staff with practical ideas and strategies to support young people experiencing EBSNA.
