attendance worries

Hotel california

Hi, just need some advice.

Just received a letter from edu welfare officer who wants to meet to create an attendance plan for my son.  The school records are incorrect but because computer says so they are not accepting my figures.  Nevertheless he has missed school due to anxiety, stress, ill health and on three occasions sent home because school did not follow routines, which I don't believe are accurately recorded.

My question is what do ewo do in such cases.  Take me to court?  

Just to say his studies are not suffering as he continues to be in the top 3 per cent.

Look forward to some advice.  Forgot to say he has asd and a statement

  • Thank you both for your comments and suggestions, it is very much appreciated.  I did read somewhere that asd children are more likely to shutdown more than NT's which I have seen in my kids.  They seem to work really hard for a while and then have to recharge, which can take a few days.  Does anyone else experience this.  It may help school understand absences a bit more if others do this as well.

    're school attendance.  I once asked the ewo how many days equated to x percentage, and she had no idea.  A fairly simple question I thought.  I rest my case.
