SWEIC Attendance Self-Evaluation Toolkit (1) (1)

 

The SWRIC Attendance Self Evaluation Toolkit supports schools identify where there is good practice in relation to reducing pupil absence, and where further strategies need to be developed to ensure maximum attendance for pupils at the school. Supporting resources are available to support areas of development identified through the self-evaluation process.

We recommend that you watch the short videos in the Attendance Videos Playlist prior to completing the self-evaluation toolkit.

Interventions

This self-evaluation toolkit is designed to help you identify strengths and areas for development in terms of supporting positive attendance in your establishment. The toolkit is split into four sections which are of equal importance. You may wish to carry out your self evaluation journey one step at a time or carry out the whole exercise holistically. Whichever way you choose however, it is vital when deciding on a response to questions that you consider the validity and reliability of the evidence base for your decision.

Thanks are extended to colleagues from Forth Valley and West Lothian RIC who produced this toolkit. Birmingham Council who gave permission to use their original document on which this toolkit is based are also acknowledged and thanked.
