Truancy

Truancy: pre-teens and teenagers

Key points

• Truancy might happen for school, friendship or family reasons, or because children want to try something risky.
• It’s important to address truancy early and get children back to school.
• If you know your child is wagging school, talk with your child first and then seek help from the school.
• Your support for learning and education can encourage children to go to school every day.
