ABSTRACT
Taken collectively, these ideas provide schools with an abundance of up-to-date information and schemes that really do work when put into practice effectively. This unit focuses upon over thirty different practical schemes that schools can implement to help combat truancy. These ideas are provided as a result of:
• evidence obtained from the literature; • feedback from teachers in schools in England, Scotland and Wales on in-service training events; • data obtained from master’s degree (taught and research) students under the supervision of the
author at Swansea Institute; • school-based research projects.
