What the session covers

Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) is on the rise — and it’s one of the most complex challenges schools face today. This practical INSET session helps staff understand what EBSA is (and isn’t), explore its underlying causes, and learn what they can do to help. Ideal for whole-school delivery, this session is available as a 90-minute webinar or keynote, or extended into a half or full day of in-depth learning.

What this training helps your team to do

  • Recognise the signs of emotionally based school avoidance early
  • Understand the difference between EBSA and other types of absence
  • Respond in a way that supports safety, trust and re-engagement
  • Have better conversations with families and external agencies
  • Reduce anxiety and guesswork for staff, especially non-specialists
