Scottish Government guidance for schools and education authorities in Scotland on the national approach to promoting and managing attendance in Scottish schools.
The guidance sets out measures for classifying and recording attendance and absence. It provides advice on how effective monitoring can support early intervention and inform both whole-school and targeted approaches, as part of a staged intervention model, to meet the needs of individual children and young people. The guidance aligns with existing GIRFEC and child protection guidance and supports schools and education authorities to comply with their safeguarding responsibilities.
