Children missing education refers to all children of compulsory school age who are neither on a school roll nor being educated otherwise.
We are committed to ensuring that all children receive their statutory education entitlement. If you have concerns that a child may be missing education please complete the referral form to Bromley education welfare service.
Children missing out on education are those who are on a school roll but have not attended for a substantial period of time. This could be due to medical needs or school phobia or other unmet needs. If you have concerns that a child is missing out on their education contact Bromley Education Welfare Service.
