Policy and Campaigns

We are determined to build a better future for children and families through good school attendance

We want all children to be able to make the most out of their education. Good school attendance is essential so they can improve their life chances. To do this we work with families to take a stand and advocate changes to law, funding and practice to policy makers. We use campaigns and the media to amplify our families’ voices so their concerns stay at the forefront of public debate.
