Priorities

• All C&YP are supported to achieve their potential
• C&YP are supported by a highly effective workforce
Raise Attendance, Raise Children’s Chances!
What does “Good attendance” mean?
• Do you know what your child's attendance is?
• Do you know what it means?
?
This is Bethany. She is in Year 7 and has 90% attendance.
• Is that good?
• What does this mean?
Bethany thinks this is pretty good, so do her parents. Are they right?
90% attendance = ½ day missed every week!!
(Would your boss like you to be off work this much??). That’s practically part time!
Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri
?
Absent half a day every week
90% attendance over 5 years of secondary school….
= ½ a school year missed!

Lets look a little closer…..
1 school year at 90% attendance = 4 whole weeks of lessons MISSED!!!
38 school weeks
Sept July
?
Absent for 4 weeks
Research suggests that 17 missed school days a year = GCSE grade
DROP in achievement. (DfES)
The greater the attendance the greater the achievement.
What impact might this have on Bethany’s life……?

So 90% is not as good as it first seemed.
Attend and Achieve!
• If a school can improve attendance by 1%, they will see a 5-6% improvement in attainment. (Department for Education and Skills)
• By ensuring attendance remains above 95%, will allow children and young people to achieve their potential.
Attendance Strategy• Data• Tackling key threats• Community: 360 degree responsibility• Schools: targeted input and support• Young people: consultation and
celebration• Beyond attendance data – ‘missing
children’

Working with Schools
Mary Holland
Senior Assistant Education Officer
Children & Young People with Disabilities
Alison Cathles
Service Manager CYPwD/SEN
“You don’t understand what it’s like”: improving
outcomes for children and young people with
disabilities
• 3 to 4 times more likely to be abused• 4 to 6 times more likely to have mental ill-health• More likely to grow up in residential placements• 13 times more likely to be excluded from school• 2 times as likely to be NEET at the age of 16• 55% grow up in families living in poverty or on its
margins
Disabled children/young people are:
• There has been a significant increase in the prevalence of severe disability and complex need over the past 10 years
• Children under 16 are the fastest growing disability age group
• Approximately 5000 children in Gloucestershire?• Locally the number of children and young people
with profound and multiple learning disability increased by over 106% between 2001 and 2006
What else do we know?
What do parents & young people tell us?
• Families have to fight to get services• Services, when they get them, are mostly good• Young people and their families want to be
included in their communities and local activities but often are not
• Short term breaks are very important and very scarce
• Families want more advice and information and much better support moving into adult life
• Young people and parents want more choice and more control and to be listened to
What we know about local (and national) services
• Specialist services are under a lot of pressure from increasing demand
• Mainstream/universal services are struggling to support more disabled children and need more support from specialist services
• Gaps include support for young people with LD or ASD and challenging behaviour; specialist health service support for young people with LD
• National estimate: services under funded by up to 70%
The way forward
• Inclusion• Partnership with young people and
parents to commission services and develop support
• Self-directed support• Integrated working focused on
closing the gap in terms of outcomes.
