Attendance Mentoring for Local Authorities

A low-risk, evidence-backed way to improve attendance outcomes at scale - designed to build capacity, not replace it.

Etio’s Attendance Mentoring supports Local Authorities and Combined Local Authorities to reduce persistent and severe absence at scale, using the proven Attendance Mentoring methodology that can be mobilised quickly across places. Our programmes provide:

• Trained attendance mentors working one-to-one with pupils and families.

• Focused support on the underlying barriers driving absence.

• Consistent delivery standards with local adaptation.

How we work with your Authority and schools

There are multiple ways we can adapt the Attendance Mentoring model to your Authority, depending on your priorities, existing local attendance and inclusion strategies, and the scale you might wish to operate at. Importantly, however, Etio works in partnership with local systems, building capacity rather than replacing it.
