About this product

Product Information

There is no shortage of voices calling for more strident action to combat 'truancy' in our schools. Levels of attendance are probably as good as they have ever been, but a small percentage of children, and their parents, continue to opt out, as they have always done. In this radical and innovative book, Ben Whitney suggests that we urgently need some new ideas, not more of what has already failed. Based on over 20 years' personal experience of dealing with the issues at the frontline, this is a thought-provoking series of reflections that challenge many of our current assumptions. From questioning conventional wisdom about what 'truancy' is, through to identifying the unreliability of the data and the ineffectiveness of punitive responses, he issues a challenge to politicians, schools and local authorities to think again. The truancy myth is no longer sustainable if we actually want to make a difference.
