Supporting students who can’t, not won’t.

The late arrivals, the sick bay visits, the student who’s suddenly very interested in the library at lunch. If you’ve spotted a pattern and want to understand it, you’re already ahead.

The good news is you don’t need a psychology degree or a 20-page plan. A trusted adult, a quiet space and a few small adjustments go a long way. We’ll help with the rest.

Support the families in your school community…

When a student can’t get to school, their parents are often carrying the most and getting the least guidance. Setting the Compass is our interactive guide for parents and carers navigating School Can’t. It helps them understand what’s happening for their child, notice their own stress, and map out a values-led way forward.

It works best alongside the changes you’re making at school, so families and staff are pulling in the same direction.

Two easy ways to get it to a family:

1Buy it for a family

Use your wellbeing or student support budget to purchase it on a family’s behalf, then pass the access details on to the parent or carer.

2Send them the link

Families can buy their own access. Copy the link for an email, a support meeting follow-up or your parent newsletter.
