Not Fine in School - school attendance problems

These problems and barriers often relate to unmet Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (diagnosed or suspected), physical or mental illness, bullying & assault, trauma, excessive levels of academic pressure, overly strict behaviour policies, a missing sense of belonging, and an irrelevant curriculum 

School attendance problems and barriers are poorly understood & managed & are compounded by current challenges within education, health & local government systems. This problematic response often has severe consequences for both child and family.

At the heart of Not Fine in School there is a private Facebook support group which has a membership of 30,000 parents, carers & other family members.
