Course description
Introduction
Schools can request a home visit for the following reasons:
- Safe and well check – If school has not seen a child for a period of days or is concerned about their whereabouts
- Attendance Visit – If the child is absent from school and you are concerned about:
- The reason given for absence
- The length of time absent
- Lack of contact from home
Process
After submitting the referral, a member of our team will contact you to gather the necessary information for the visit. This should include any safeguarding information that we should be aware of for both the safety of our staff and the family being visited.
Time scales
Referrals received before midday will be allocated to a member of our team, who will endeavour to complete these before the end of the next working day.
Emergency response
In the event you require an emergency visit, please follow your local procedure with children’s services or contact the police.
Outcomes
Once we have completed the visit, we will contact you by telephone to offer verbal feedback, along with a written report to be placed in the school information system/child’s file.
