    • Attendance
    • making contact with parents on the first day of a student absence to ensure that there is a proper reason for it
    • underlining the importance of attendance
    • arranging support from education welfare services to address early truanting behaviour.
    • Engaging with schools
    • arranging home visits and ‘meet the teacher’ sessions for families
