How is the Government working with families to increase school attendance?
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language | Answered on 21/07/2023
We expect local authorities and education settings to work with families to increase school attendance. A key pillar of our community focussed school model is family engagement. As such we continue to invest in family engagement officers this year by providing funding of over £6.5 million. Improving attendance is an integral element of the family engagement officers role.
