Access Tools

The Ofsted Out of School Report in 2004 estimated that there were approximately 10,000 children missing from education in the UK. In Knowsley we seek to ensure that all pupils have access to education.

Some of the reasons for CME can occur when pupils fail to start a new school or appropriate education provision, or they fail to re-register at a new school when they move into the borough.
These ‘missing’ children can be amongst the most vulnerable, it is essential that all services work together to identify and re-engage these children back into appropriate education as quickly as possible.
