Define Fine is a small, committed team of parents and professionals who have lived experience of school attendance difficulties. The parent/carer-led organisation was set up in response to the growing number of children and young people who experience school attendance difficulties. They provide peer support, using their tried and tested resources and to help parents advocate for the support their children and young people need to be able to learn and achieve. They empower parents to be able to effectively work with professionals to create better outcomes, reduce the risk and impact of unhelpful and unnecessary attendance prosecutions and social services safeguarding interventions. They have co-produced the following guidance, based on relevant and up to date government guidance and policy which forms the basis of our support framework. We have had some success already in working with parents and professionals to develop suitable Support Plans to enable children to access a suitable education. Their resources and training are also available for professionals in Education, Health and Social Care. Currently a national Facebook group. They are inclusive and supportive of all parents and carers of children who struggle to attend school, usually due to unmet needs, these can be mental and physical health, and/or SEND https://www.facebook.com/groups/773420163493553 https://www.facebook.com/definefineparentpeersupport We're sorry but <%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %> doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled.
