#37 From Silence to Support. A Systems-Based Approach for Navigating School Attendance Difficulties
Last year, over 1.5 million Australian children experienced difficulties attending school. That number reflects 39% of families with school aged children. Their lack of attendance is not because they're 'naughty'. Not because they're 'defiant'. And not because of poor parenting. But because they can't. If we're to design a future of learning that's inclusive of all, this nation wide challenge requires nation wide participation, and must involve diverse voices representative of all industries, perspectives and backgrounds. In this special episode of Classroom 5.0, we're sharing the recording of our online training from earlier this year on this topic. It aims to help you understand the 'what' and 'why' of school attendance difficulties, and offers practical, actionable steps that parents, teachers and HR professionals can take to provide collaborative, community based support for children and families affected. Head to the to download the full webinar and presentation slides, and for links to today's resources. In this episode, you'll discover - 1. The key issues facing families navigating difficulties with school attendance, 2. Clinical and research backed insights behind what's driving school attendance difficulties, and why some individuals are more vulnerable than others, 3. Current solutions and supports currently available for families, and how we can learn from other countries 4. Practical things you can say and do to support children and families experiencing 'School Can't', or school attendance difficulties This training is in support of, but separate to, the incredible work and efforts of 'School Can't Australia', who can be contacted directly EPISODE WEBPAGE To gain access to resources discussed in today's episode, and to download the free recording of the training and accompnaying slides,

How you can become a kinder and better leader, with Inclusive Education and Leadership expert, Professor Suzanne Carrington
Imagine being told by a doctor that the best option for your child's future education and wellbeing will be an institution, where you can leave them, and forget about them. To parents today, that proposition might seem unfathomable. But to those raising children with disabilities in the mid 1980s, this was their far too common reality. Thankfully, today, things have changed, thanks largely to the good work of pioneers in inclusive education like my guest today, Professor Suzanne Carrington. But there’s still a lot more work to be done. In this heartwarming conversation, Professor Carrington helps paint what the work to date, as well as the path ahead, looks like. Her practical approach will leave you feeling both inspired and equipped to take action toward creating a future of inclusive education, leadership and work that uses inclusive everyday leadership practices to celebrate and promote diversity.
