My child cannot currently go to school

They can't go right now.

You do not need to have all the answers. Start with what is happening today and we will help you build the bigger picture from there.

Nothing here assumes the answer is a faster return to school

We start with what is happening now, work backwards to understand how you got here, and look at what is preventing sustainable access to education. Progress is not measured by attendance alone.

What this journey asks you

Five short questions about how much education your child can currently access, what happens when school is mentioned, what you are seeing at home, what school says it sees, and how much capacity your family has right now. Nothing asks you to prove or justify anything, and you can leave any question blank.

How long it takes

Around ten minutes, and it saves as you go on this device. Many parents come back to it over a few days. There is also space for your child to add anything in their own words, if and when they want to.

What you get at the end

A clear starting point describing where your child is today, the gap between what home sees and what school sees, three manageable things to do next, and questions you can take to school. It is not a diagnosis and not a clinical assessment - it organises what you already know into something you can act on and share.
