Improving attendance in Scotland:
Actions for consideration
- Local authorities should carefully monitor their strategic and implementation plans for improving attendance or develop a plan where one is not in place.
- Put children and young people’s views at the centre of refreshed approaches.
- Education Scotland working with stakeholders and partners should provide bespoke support for areas where improving levels of attendance remains a challenge.
- Approaches to effective tracking and monitoring attendance should be collated and shared.
- Education Scotland and Scottish Government should collaborate with the wider system to bring coherence to the work on improving attendance.
