درباره این اپیزود
If pupils are marked present, but still spend large parts of the school day hiding in the toilets, wandering corridors or visiting the medical room – have you solved your internal truancy problem, or just moved it somewhere else?
In this episode, you’ll learn about emotionally based internal truancy, or EBIT - an informal way of thinking about pupils who make it into school but struggle to access the classroom.
You’ll discover how to balance safe toilet access with clear expectations around lesson attendance, why restricting access may treat the symptom rather than the cause and how the MAP process can help schools identify what’s driving internal truancy and put the right support in place.

Free, in-person training session for MATs and trusts:
If your school leaders are spending too much time firefighting SEMH needs, we’d like to help. We offer free, in-person training to help heads, deputies and MAT leaders move from reacting to SEMH problems to having a clearer, strategic approach across their schools. Just provide the venue and leaders from at least 15 schools - and we’ll do the rest. Email support@beaconschoolsupport.co.uk to find out more.
