When school sees the absence but misses the barrier underneath it.

The EBSA School Return Trial Planner helps you bring one barrier, one support, one trusted adult and one review date into a smaller, more constructive conversation.

What this free resource helps you do

Move from feeling unheard to a short, reviewable support trial.

The EBSA School Return Trial Planner is a 10-day school-support trial planner. Use it at your own pace. There is no need to make a big decision today.

  • The specific point of the day or task that increases pressure
  • Your child’s view, where they can share it
  • A small adjustment and the adult responsible for helping
Keep this proportionate. A planning aid for England-based families. It does not diagnose a child, determine a school’s duties or promise a return-to-school outcome.
When you are ready for more structure

The free resource stands on its own.

If you later want a more structured route through the next stage, the Hub has optional parent learning and additional free tools. There is no pressure to decide that now.
