Support for children and young people that find going to school difficult because of worries, anxiety or other needs

This guide was developed from the work of the Child Anxiety and Access to Education Task and Finish Group.

The information is to help guide parent carers to understand the different levels of support available for children and young people that may be at risk of Emotional Based School Avoidance (EBSA) within Southend-on-Sea.

This information is also available as a PDF booklet on the Southend Learning Network website in the Useful Documents section.
