Family Support for School Attendance Difficulties

NFIS provide parents with a safe space so that they feel part of a community who understand the issues they are facing and offer peer advice and empathy to each other.

We want to support, inform and empower parents and other family members.

In parallel we are keen to build a better understanding of school attendance barriers, promote best practice and work with others to effect change so that in the future parents do not have to go through similar experiences.
