Re-engagement, at the learner's pace
EBSA Support
For learners experiencing emotionally based school avoidance. We start from wherever the learner actually is — sometimes that is fifteen minutes with the camera off — and build from there. Attendance comes before attainment.
Who it's for
- Learners who have been out of school for weeks or months
- Learners with school-related anxiety
- Families in the early stages of an EBSA pathway
- Schools and LAs supporting a graded return
What's included
Gradual onboarding
Short, low-pressure first sessions with no expectation of camera or microphone.
Relationship first
The same tutor throughout, with time spent building trust before content.
Engagement tracking
We report on minutes attended and participation, not just present or absent.
Joined-up working
We work alongside CAMHS, the school and the family rather than in isolation.
What good looks like
Learners re-establish a routine of education. Many go on to a fuller timetable or a supported return to school.
