Priorities
• C&YP live in safe communities and feel
safe
• 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
?
Absent half a day every week
Fri
90% attendance over 5 years of
secondary school….
= ½ a school year missed!

½ a year absent
from school
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
What impact might this have on
Bethany’s life……?
Research suggests that 17 missed
school days a year = GCSE grade
DROP in achievement. (DfES)
The greater the attendance the greater
the achievement.

Qualifications
What do you want for your child?
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.
• By ensuring attendance remains above
95%, will allow children and young
people to achieve their potential.

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
Disabled children/young people are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
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
What else do we know?
• 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 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.
