Reviews

'The link between mental health difficulties and attendance feels intuitive to those of us working with children and young people in schools, but that belies a whole world of complexity and often interlinking factors. This book cuts through that complexity, drawing on the evidence that exists to build a shared understanding and perspective across education and mental health practitioners, and most importantly, with the child as the focus. We know from our experience working in schools, that by addressing mental health issues early on, we can improve wellbeing and ultimately engagement in learning. There has never been a more important time to support children to thrive in their education, and this book is an incredibly helpful and accessible evidence-based guide in that effort.' Catherine Roche, Chief Executive, Place2Be 'This book on the connections between school attendance and aspects of mental health is to be strongly welcomed. Too often it can be assumed that school attendance is important and left at that. The various contributions to this book identify how and why this is the case through a multidisciplinary approach. It has a strong research informed basis as well as providing advice and information to practitioners who work in the various services that focus on this important topic.' Brahm Norwich, Professor of Educational Psychology and Special Educational Needs, Graduate School of Education, University of Exeter
