Education Welfare Service

This is where you will find information related to school attendance as well as links to the specific responsibilities held by the Education Welfare Services.

Follow the link Children missing education (CME) for information about what to do if you find a child resident in Bristol who meets the CME criteria.

There is a link to DCSF attendance legislation & guidance which may be of particular interest to schools. It contains the Pupil registration Regulations, a link to Forced Marriages and guidance on absence codes. 

The link Bristol EWS attendance policy & guidance contains information on our attendance policy and guidance, which includes guidance about deletions from the admission register, examples of good practice, a guide for parents, suggestions for addressing absence and information regarding family holidays during term time.

Follow the link School attendance leaflets for parents / carers for downloadable school attendance leaflets for schools to send to parents/carers. These leaflets provide parents with information about why good attendance is important, what to do if your child misses school and explain when and why Penalty Notices may be issued to parents. The leaflets are available to be downloaded by schools in a wide range of languages.
