Truancy: Short and Long-Term Solutions Is a Practical and Accessible Guide to Dealing with the Problem of Truancy and Non-Attendance Truancy Truancy: Short and Long-term Solutions is a practical and accessible guide to dealing with the problem of truancy and non-attendance. It is the first book on the issue to actively focus on solutions to the problem, rather than just the causes. The book is full of practical examples of the latest ways in which schools, teachers, education welfare officers and LEAs try to overcome their attendance difficulties. The author identifies 120 short-term solutions as well as several long-term strategic approaches. He also considers issues such as parental-condoned absenteeism, alternative curriculum schemes and mentoring, while the final chapter presents some strategic issues which policy makers and politicians need to overcome. The book provides all teachers, heads of year, deputy heads, head teachers, education welfare staff, social workers, learning mentors and other caring professionals with a repository of up-to-date ideas and potential solutions. It is essential reading for anyone involved in addressing the challenge of truancy. Ken Reid is Deputy Principal at Swansea Institute of Higher Education. He is also the author of Truancy and Schools and Tackling Truancy in Schools, both published by Routledge.

First and foremost I offer my thanks to Angela Harris for typing the manuscript and for her patience and help during the editorial process. Second, I would like to thank Alison Foyle, Anna Clarkson and all their colleagues at RoutledgeFalmer for their help and advice during the production of this book. Third, I would like to thank a number of colleagues for their assistance in facilitating issues covered in the text. These include: Mike Weston, assistant headteacher at Davison High School, Worthing, and Sheila Wallis, headteacher at the same school; Elaine Reynolds, senior teacher at Mountain Ash Comprehensive School and her headteacher, Mick Guilfoyle, for permission to use evidence from the MAP Project (The Mountain Ash Partnership Out-of-School Learning Project funded by the New Opportunities Fund) for which the author is acting as the objective, external evaluator; Andrew Harvey, Kerica Hunt and Richard Hillary of Chamberlayne Park School, Southampton. I would also like to thank: Professor Lou Cohen, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Loughborough, Professor Carl Parsons, Canterbury Christ Church University College, Lesley Thomas and Anne Taylor for their help and assistance, and Merle Davies, Robin Boyden, Barnaby Shaw and Karpana Somasundram, School Attendance Support Team from the DfES. Foreword: About this book The focus of this book is on helping schools to find short and long-term solutions for their non-attendance and truancy problems. Thus, Chapters 1 and 2 help to set the current national scene partially by providing relevant case studies. Chapters 3 to 6 concentrate on a whole host of recent short-term initiatives within schools. These ideas emanate from current work taking place within schools, LEAs and education action zones with which the author has been personally involved. The remainder of the book concentrates upon longer-term solutions and current issues which impinge upon establishing short and long-term solutions. Thus, Chapters 7 and 8 present an outline of two different types of long-term and more strategic ideas for schools to consider. Thereafter, the key issues discussed in the remaining chapters are truants and absentees, parents and parental-condoned absenteeism, alternative curriculum approaches, and mentoring. Re-integration strategies are considered at appropriate points throughout the book. The final chapter concludes with a series of recommendations on the best way forward in the continuing fight against truancy and other forms of non- attendance. Ideally, this book should be used alongside Truancy and Schools (Reid, 1999) and Tackling Truancy in Schools (Reid, 2000) both published by Routledge. In fact, this new book represents the third and final volume in a series on truancy previously referred to in the Epilogue on page 333 of Truancy and Schools. The provisional title has been changed from The Challenge of Truancy to Truancy: Short and Long-Term Solutions. This text is intended to be a helpful resource material for all those caring professionals involved in the process of combating non-attendance and truancy. These include head-teachers, senior staff, middle managers, form tutors, education welfare officers, education social workers, attendance support staff, educational psychologists, social workers, pupil referral unit staff, LEA administrators, magistrates and their clerks and, finally, and not least, parents whose role in the prevention of truancy is vital. Most of the case studies, examples and exemplars have been taken directly from schools, LEAs, projects and EAZs with whom the author has been personally involved. In some cases where it is generally about ‘good’ news the actual title of the institution involved has been named. However, in cases of high truancy schools or in order to protect individuals or their institutions, some fictional names of real people or their institutions have been used. Therefore, Seaside School represents a real school by the sea somewhere in south-west England. By contrast, the MAP Project at Mountain Ash School details are given in full as not only is the author acting as the external evaluator for the scheme, but because the school is rightly proud of its endeavour and achievements, and the Project Co-ordinator, Elaine Reynolds, has agreed to ‘field’ any subsequent interest from readers of the book. The chapters on the alternative curriculum and mentoring have been included because these two emergent fields are likely to become increasingly important in the near future. Equally, the chapter on parents and parental-condoned absenteeism is long overdue and utilises data gathered by the author in a variety of projects on truancy and persistent school absenteeism since 1977 and reworked to form the five categories now outlined. Much more work needs to be done to confirm the precise boundaries of these groups. However, Chapter 9 reminds us that parental-condoned absenteeism is far from being a simple and uniform problem. In fact, it is made up of a whole host of parental groups some of whom try very hard not to condone their children’s absence but are not very successful in achieving their aim. Finally, to help readers who are new to the subject of truancy, Chapter 1 describes some of the latest developments in the field. It tries to provide a potted introduction suitable for a reading of the rest of the book on where we are now in the current state of play on truancy and related attendance issues. Conversely, the final chapter summarises ideas for consideration by policy makers and practitioners on some of the best ways of reducing and combating truancy and other forms of absence based on the author’s thirty years’ experience in the field. The book is intended to be a good read as well as providing up-to-date and relevant case work and information about truancy. I hope you will enjoy it and find it helpful.

These policies need to be based on a thorough understanding of local needs for such facilities and opportunities available for new provision. 1.2 In view of the above, in 2019 Adur & Worthing Councils appointed Ethos Environmental Planning to review a joint study completed in 2014 to provide an up-to-date and robust assessment identifying needs, surpluses and deficits in open space, sport and recreation to support the Local Plans. 1.3 The two councils have separate local plans; this study will assist Worthing Borough in the preparation of a new plan and will support the implementation of the Adur Local Plan which was adopted in 2017. The study will also inform the Council’s asset management process, health and well-being plans and its investments and infrastructure funding process. 1.4 In summary the requirements of the brief are to provide: A comprehensive Open Space Assessment, Indoor/Built Sports Facilities Needs Assessment that represents an update to the existing (2014) assessment.

  • Annex SCHEMES to BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED
    Annex SCHEMES TO BE PROGRESSED IF DEVELOPER FUNDING IS SECURED March 2009 Background This document is called “Schemes to be progressed if developer funding is secured” and is also known as the “Blue Book”. In line with latest national guidance (see below), County and District Councils have developed a structured approach to the identification of transport needs related to development proposals. This aims, in particular, to improve the link between meeting the needs of development and the aims of the Local Transport Plan. The County Council’s Works Programme and Forward Programme are produced annually to list the highways and transport schemes to be progressed with the funds available. This year, the Forward Programme has been extended to include schemes that have been identified, in liaison with the Local Planning Authorities, as meeting LTP objectives but that cannot be progressed within available funding. Developer contributions will be sought towards these schemes, where they are seen to meet the needs of development proposals. This extended Forward Programme has been subject to consultation and will be supported by District Councils and used to assist the development control process. The programme will be updated each year and it is intended to engage wider community interests in developing and updating the programme in future years. Planning Context Planning Policy Guidance Note 13 : Transport requires authorities to demonstrate a linkage between land use planning and transport policies and objectives. PPG13 recognises that: • Local Transport Plans have a central role in co-ordinating and improving local transport provision and should relate to measures which form part of the local approach to the integration of planning and transport.

  • Information for Parents Booklet and Appendix 1
    Appendix 1 This Appendix lists the oversubscription criteria for all schools which do not use the West Sussex County Council standard oversubscription criteria for Community and Voluntary Controlled schools (reproduced at the bottom of this page). It includes all Church Voluntary Aided Schools, Foundation Schools, Free schools, Academies as well as Community and Voluntary Controlled schools which use variations of the standard West Sussex County Council oversubscription criteria. Where a school was oversubscribed in September 2020 the number of places offered in each category are listed beside the criteria. For oversubscribed schools the total number of places offered, together with the criteria and distance of the last place offered, is shown at the bottom of the oversubscription criteria. FAITH SCHOOL ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS and COVID-19: Some faith based admission authorities define children's or families' membership or practice of the faith for the purpose of school admissions through regular attendance at a place of worship over a specified period. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, there have been restrictions on the opening of places of worship (especially for communal worship) and parents and their children may have been unable to attend their place of worship as normal. This has meant that faith schools with admissions arrangements that prioritise applicants based on membership or practice of the faith, evidenced through regular attendance at a place of worship and/or at communal worship, may find their admission arrangements have been affected for the September 2021 intake. When making a preference for a faith school please check the school’s website to see what changes to their arrangements they may have made.
