Support available for emotionally based school non-attendance

Emotionally based school non-attendance (EBSNA) can affect children and young people of any school age. It can happen as a result of a wide range of different factors – home, wider family, community, school, friendships – often a combination of some or all of these.

This leaflet gives some great information and advice for those families affected by EBSNA along with strategies to try at home.
