#disapointing -how have the Center for social justice and Flick Drummond come to this conclusion?? Your research isn't wrong but the solution doesn't make sense? The Education (Pupil Registration) Regulations 1995. These regulations state the duty of headteachers who have to inform the Local Authority that the child has been deregistered and removed from school roll within 10 working/school days. - the vulnerable children you are talking about are already registered! 1. All children deregistered from school are automatically registered with the local authrority #notmissing 2. Children Missing Education (CME), missing from school, not being educated anywhere are already on school roll #notmissing 3. If schools are not meeting the needs of vulnerable young people perhaps you need a register of schools with persistently absent support services. or a register of schools off-rolling? #UnMetNeed 4. A register of home educated child (who are already on a register) will not find children absent from school or those missing education (CME). You cannot be both on school roll and home educated. I think we all agree young people should be supported and safe - that happens when parents are supported and when resources and funding are put in the right direction - we do a great disservice to social justice and our young people with red herrings and misdirected policies. #Doctoralresesrcher #educationotherwise #homeeducation #researcher #phdHomeEducation

There are many reasons why this idea will solve very little. A teenager said to me yesterday - why is it we cannot vote at 16 but we are expected to take stressful, once in a life time exams that we are told will affect our life’s chances and are expected to make further unidisciplinary decisions for our 16-18 years at school or college. Let’s wonder more about why many children find school so challenging they don’t turn up. Let’s change schools to adapt to those children rather than play around with the edges of this tricky problem. Let’s innovate and being daring. Let’s have a distinctive secondary education system fit to embrace modern challenges that encourages children to go beyond exam results. They might even become less stressed and less ‘snowflake’. Not that they are of course.

A major loss event in schools can have catastrophic effects on a child’s life chances. Time lost from education just can’t be caught up. Therefore it’s the DFA mantra when we are involved in school claims ‘to get bums back on seats!!’. We do everything we can to rapidly establish the cause of the problem, then the extent and severity of the damage caused before instituting a fast track recovery plan. Working with loss adjusters and claims staff we assemble a team of specialist contractors including builders, M&E specialists, temporary access providers etc then agree the action plan and make things happen to get the kids back in classrooms as soon as humanly possible. This is something we are really good at doing as evidenced by the testimonials we get - please have a look at this one.
