Prosecution update

We are reviewing our processes and streamline our service.

We want to encourage further dialogue from our schools prior to taking/considering legal action; we believe consultation with one of the ESWS managers will prevent cases being withdrawn at a later date. This will enable us to identify any gaps and ensure the correct methods of intervention/support have been implemented.

We will continue to over the next few months provide updates to the ‘School Attendance and the Law’ and ‘Leave of absence in term time’ sections.

If you have any queries in the meantime feel free to contact Waheeda.shah@bradford.gov.uk or Lindsey.fallon@bradford.gov.uk
