We are offering a network group for problem-solving, ways forward, ideas and inspiration led by experienced MAST Family Learning Mentors and a Senior EP.

In this session, we will explore the reasons why children and young people may develop ESBA behaviours and the ways in which schools can support the attendance and emotional wellbeing of these pupils.
