Other CME matters

school staff must consider their wider duty towards the welfare of children and when aware of children or young people who appear to be of statutory school age and not at school (eg collecting younger pupils on behalf of parents, or waiting for their peers at the school gates), refer to the CME team for follow up
the CME Lead runs regular sessions (most terms) on Admissions, Leavers and Children Missing Education for school staff who deal with these matters. Details are available in the Schools Service Training Brochure. Matthew Duffy x 7564 is the S2S Lead in the LA and can be contacted for help
the CME Lead has a rolling programme to visit all schools to Review procedures, joint working and best practice relating to Admissions, Leavers and Children Missing Education. It is prioritized by mobility rates and new Heads, but any school can contact the CME Lead to arrange the Review. Minutes with best practice and action points are provided and can be used in the SEF and in any inspection
