EBSNA Project
Emotionally Based School Non-Attendance (EBSNA) is a term used to describe children and young people (CYP) who experience challenges in attending school due to negative feelings (such as anxiety).
EBSNA is commonly associated with emotional and physical distress and a reluctance to attend school, which can lead to reduced attendance and further anxiety regarding school.
The Educational Psychology (EP) Team are in the process of setting up a weekly drop-in session for schools to discuss their concerns about EBSNA in the school. There will be a drop-in for each area hub, and it is expected that these will begin after the Autumn half term.
If you have any general enquiries about EBSNA, please email ebsa@buckinghamshire.gov.uk, and we will try to support you through signposting and/or directing you to appropriate referral pathways.
Autism Education Trust (AET) Training
The SEND team is proud to offer the AET training to our settings for free this year.
The AET schools programme offers training and resources to professionals working across all education settings for school-aged pupils aged 5 to 16 years via a network of specialist training hubs across the UK.
Supported by the Department for Education, the programme offers nationally delivered face-to-face or virtual training for professionals working with Autistic children and young people up to the age of 25.
The training uses a range of teaching methods to form an essential part of your continued professional development.
