Standard attendance tracking answers “how much school is being missed.” This answers “why, and what’s actually helping.”

What’s included:

EBSA Profile - gathers child, family and school perspectives on presentation, risk factors and what helps, not from one viewpoint alone
Graduated Support Plan - Assess, Plan, Do, Review structure with realistic staged targets, matching current best-practice guidance
Weekly Tracking - attendance, anxiety level and progress logged side by side, every week, including weeks with no attendance at all
Dashboard - live counts across anxiety levels and progress against plan

Who it’s for: DSLs, pastoral leads, SENCos and mental health leads supporting a student with EBSA - distinct from general persistent absence, and requiring a genuinely different, relationship-led approach.

Use alongside, not instead of, your existing attendance monitoring - see the Individual Attendance Tracker or Attendance Red Flag Tracker for whole-picture data.
