Managing child absences and non-attendance

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence in managing child absences and non-attendance in an early years setting. It supports learning needs, reflection and discussion. It does not confirm competence. It does not replace formal training, supervision, observation, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. If you score 1 or 2 on any statement, treat this as a priority learning need. Follow your employer policy and speak with your manager, safeguarding lead or relevant senior person before carrying out related tasks independently.
