What if my child is too ill to attend school?

Question:
What if my child is too ill to attend school?
Answer:
Children sometimes are absent from school due to genuine extreme physical or mental health needs which require support. In those circumstances, attending school as often as they can will be acknowledged and celebrated and if they require additional support outside of school, Staffordshire County Council will work with parents, schools, health partners and other agencies to assess what support is required. Children may need to be on a reduced timetable for a short period of time or further reasonable adjustments be made to support a return to school. All assessments require parents and schools to work collaboratively together and be committed to the child returning to school as soon as they are assessed as able to. Further information is available on the NHS website.
