Why are nearly 1m children & young people classed as persistent absentees? Sadly, the data doesn’t tell us, which is why the approaches to behaviour & absence (which have been in place for years) are not working. We applaud the MIND report which calls for "an attendance 1/2 
2/2 system which does not disadvantage or stigmatise young people experiencing mental health problems" and trauma-informed teaching for all staff. These CYP are not 'skipping school' or 'not showing up' #notozerotolerance #notfineinschool
In 2018/19, 43% of persistent absences had no formally recorded reason (absence codes O, C or N). That means WE DO NOT KNOW WHY they were absent. Assumptions that claim they are 'skipping school' or on a path to prison are inaccurate #notfineinschool #notozerotolerance
This is a thread about #autistic children and ONE of the reasons why school can be difficult/stressful.
It’s a thing that NTs find hard to understand, and I’ve struggled to explain it to Fairy’s teachers in the past, but it’s SO important.

This thread is about... 🥁🥁
The need to explain things clearly.
Teachers: I absolutely acknowledge that you are trying your best to be clear with your students. Only, please don’t underestimate quite how *specific* you need to be with your autistic pupils. 2/

I have Fairy’s permission to talk you through an example of something that happened yesterday, in the hope that it will help some teachers to understand why she, and children like her, can find things difficult at school. 3/
