Funded Environmental and Emotional Barriers to School Attendance (EEBSA) support
Access Funded EEBSA Support
We are funded to support children and young people experiencing Environmental and Emotional Barriers to School Attendance (EEBSA).
Referrals can now be made by:
- Parents and carers
- Schools and education settings
Our support is flexible and tailored to each child and family’s needs.
Step 1: Referral
Parents, carers or schools can complete our referral form.
Once we receive a referral, a member of our team will review the information and contact the family to discuss the next steps.
Step 2: Assessment and Planning
We take a whole-system approach to understanding a child’s needs.
We will meet with:
- The child or young person
- Parents or carers
- School staff
Step 3: Personalised Support
Support may include one or more of the following:
✅ Direct therapeutic support for the child or young person
✅ Parent and carer support
✅ School consultation and guidance
✅ Staff training and capacity building
✅ Collaborative planning and review meetings
Our aim is to ensure that everyone around the child is supported to create sustainable change.
What Happens Next?
We regularly review progress with the family, school and young person, adapting support as needs change.
Our focus is helping children and young people feel safe, understood, connected and able to engage successfully with education.
