School Avoidance Awareness Week 2026
School non-attendance (sometimes known as EBSA) is fast becoming one of the most challenging areas of education, health and care for children and young people. Parents are put under pressure to ensure their children attend school, while professionals report to us they feel out of their depth.
We are dedicating this week to exploring the issues surrounding school avoidance and attendance difficulties.
How to sign up....
All of our live webinars as part of School Avoidance Awareness Week 2026 will be available to watch through the SEND Training Institute academy, which is our online learning platform. You can watch live or catch up on the recording at any time.
Our online academy is easily accessible via desktop or app. As well as School Avoidance Awareness Week 2026, you will also find over 200 courses on a range of SEND needs. From courses on individual profiles such as Autism, ADHD, PDA, Dyspraxia and Selective Mutism to courses which explain the process on how to apply for an EHCP, what reasonable adjustments can be made to meet need and how to support families.
Course length differs with the average being around two hours in length. On completion of each, a CPD certificate can be provided.
The breadth of information within the Academy means this isn’t just something you will visit once. Through every new challenge that you face, you’ll be able to come onto the Academy and find the education and training you need to face it. And we are always growing with new resources added every single month.
