Attendance

Children Missing from Education New

Help us to help safeguard children by using the form on the Herts Direct link below and tell us in confidence if you think you know of any children who are missing from education.

The Children Missing Education (CME) Officer will then check on all school aged children (aged 5 - 16) where it appears they don't have a school place and are not being taught outside of the school system.
