EBSA toolkit
1. Overview
This toolkit helps explain the feelings that make it easier for children and young people to go to school. It also shows how families and school or colleges can help when addressing Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA).
You can share parts of this guide online or print them to give to parents, teachers, and kids.
The guide will be updated as we learn more from research and experience.
The toolkit suggests a simple "Assess, Plan, Do, Review" method to help students who feel like they can't go to school. It also explains how to embed Whole School or College Approaches (WSCA) to spot and prevent mental health and emotional wellbeing problems early.
