Improving support for children missing education

We want to empower local authorities, schools and others to identify and support children missing education more effectively. This is to ensure every child gets an education, wherever they live and whatever their background.

In this call for evidence, we are seeking views on:

• how children missing education are identified and supported
• the challenges in identifying and supporting children missing education
• how to address those challenges

Children missing education are children of compulsory school age who are not registered pupils at a school and are not receiving suitable education otherwise.
