@MariaConyard Daughter now knows that school a) don't care about her health b) won't believe her when she might need them to listen c) lost respect for adults in her life she did look up to d) feels she the person isn't valued as much as she the number being in attendance. All crappy.

@MariaConyard Maria let's chat. The EXACT same thing happened to H at the same school. I was told when I said I would collect her regardless of whether they believed her or not that it would be an unauthorised absence, so the control was then aimed at me. Obvs I just picked her up. Sod them.

@adamfare1996 This, and add attendance treat trips/opportunities and name plaques in school. Meant to incentivise, actually achieves the opposite - demoralising exclusionary and othering, the kids see this so why don't the schools?
