Information

Join us on Thursday, 23 March at 10.30am for the latest Attendance Spotlight webinar, delivered online via Microsoft Teams. This session will provide a clear overview of Fixed Penalty Notices, including when they may be an appropriate response to unauthorised absence and how to make a referral correctly. 

The webinar will cover the key principles behind Fixed Penalty Notices, practical guidance on thresholds and evidence, and how this intervention fits within a wider graduated response to improving attendance. There will also be an opportunity to reflect on common queries and ensure consistent practice across schools and settings. 

The session is open to all, and colleagues involved in attendance, pastoral support or school leadership are encouraged to attend.
