A practical, illustrated 12-page toolkit for supporting secondary-aged students experiencing school anxiety, emotionally based school avoidance, attendance difficulties or a gradual return following an absence.

Designed for use by pastoral and attendance teams, tutors, teachers, SENCOs, SEND staff, parents and carers, the resource supports collaborative conversations and places student voice at the centre of reintegration planning.

The toolkit includes:

• Student perspective star
• Attendance-barrier mapping activity
• School pressure-point scale
• Arrival and check-in plan
• Reasonable-adjustments planning page
• Illustrated return-to-school route map
• Weekly check-in sheet
• Lesson-access plan
• Team-around-the-student record
• Review and celebration activity

Students can write, rate, map or talk through the activities with a trusted adult. The age-appropriate pages help identify patterns, reduce uncertainty, agree practical adjustments and plan manageable reintegration checkpoints.

Supplied as one full-colour, 12-page A4 PDF ready to print.
