Education Welfare
The Education Welfare Service
The Education Welfare Service (EWS) employs a team of education welfare officers who work to improve school attendance by providing advice, guidance and support to schools, parents and pupils.
The EWS carries out the local authority's statutory responsibility with regard to school attendance, which means that if a pupil fails to attend school regularly and punctually, an education welfare officer may become involved.
Our responsibilities
EWS officers have responsibility for:
- child employment
- children in entertainment and chaperone licensing.
The "Four steps to your child's success" booklet provides a guide for parents on school attendance (see download below).
