Children Missing from Education

The Education and Early Years Service works with pupils and parents to ensure that children of compulsory school age attend school regularly.

A child is considered missing from education if he or she is not on a state or private school roll or being home-schooled.

The current compulsory school age for children in England and Wales is 5-18 years.

If you see a child or young person who you think is missing education please contact us. 

If you believe a child is at immediate risk of harm always call 999.
