About this resource
Returning to school after a long or forced absence can sometimes be daunting. This can be influenced by the reasons for the absence.
You may also have students who are worried or nervous about attending school or showing signs of school refusal.
My Return to School Support Plan aims to ensure the best possible reintegration, safety and support for a student.
It outlines situations the student might find difficult and how these can be managed for them to feel safe and supported at school.

The plan should be completed with the student, their family, school wellbeing staff and any health professionals involved in the child or young person’s care.
Be aware that sometimes plans or supports can change. It’s important to set up regular reviews to determine whether the plan is still working or needs to be updated.
