Truancy: Short and Long-term Solutions is a practical and
accessible guide to dealing with the problem of truancy and
non-attendance. It is the first book on the issue to actively focus
on solutions to the problem, rather than the causes. Full of
practical examples of the latest ways in which schools, teachers,
education welfare officers and LEAs try to overcome their
attendance difficulties. Ken Reid identifies nearly 120 short-term
solutions as well as several long-term strategic approaches. The
book also considers parental-condoned absenteeism, alternative
curriculum schemes and mentoring, while the final chapter presents
some strategic issues which policy-makers and politicians need to
overcome. This book provides all teachers, deputy heads, head
teachers, education welfare staff, social workers, learning mentors
and other caring professionals with a repository of up-to-date
ideas and solutions. It is essential reading for anyone involved in
addressing the challenge of truancy.
