Children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are more likely to miss out on education.
Children may be missing from education:
- if they are not registered at a school, or
- when the education cannot be identified by the Local Authority
This may happen if you have taken your child out of school and have not successfully moved to your next school or setting.
This might be because:
- you have not registered your child’s education with the Local Authority.
- you have registered your child at a school, but they have not started yet.
- your child has not successfully moved between schools or education settings.
- your child might be out of any educational setting for a while and is not receiving a suitable education.
