Free Webinar - 2 December 2025: School Wellbeing and Attendance: Creating a Compassionate and Child-Centre Approach

In partnership with EdPsychEd, authors of the Emotionally Based School Avoidance blog series Dr Jerricah Holder will share her ‘Integrated Model of EBSA’ enabling Designated Safeguarding Leads to develop a greater understanding of the complex and often multi-faceted aspects of school avoidance behaviours

Through this webinar, Dr Jerricah Holder will provide an overview of the school wellbeing literature and key psychological models essential to understanding the needs of children who find it difficult and distressing to attend school. Moving away from the language of school refusal and with increased emphasis on a more compassionate and child-centred approach, Dr Jerricah Holder will share her ‘Integrated Model of EBSA’ enabling Designated Safeguarding Leads to develop a greater understanding of the complex and often multi-faceted aspects of school avoidance behaviours. The child and family perspective will be integrated throughout, with videos of children and parents sharing their journey.
