The Department of Education has produced this booklet for Parents who are finding that their sons/daughters are reluctant school goers and don’t know what to do. It tries to advise on how parents/guardians can handle this situation before it becomes outright school refusal.
Approximately one in five children and young people in recognised schools are missing a month or more of their school year. Parents/guardians may find some of the reading a support in how they meet this challenge. Please click the pdf link here to read more.
