FSO will focus their work on preventative and early intervention activities. They will work with students in the school where presenting needs are below the thresholds that trigger the involvement of specialist services and other agencies.

The FSO will liaise and work effectively with all students with allocated social workers and other external agencies.

* Work with the Attendance Clerk and other stakeholders to Identify any students at risk of Persistent Absenteeism and carry out early intervention work, making relevant referrals to the Education Welfare Officer for fast-track prosecution in appropriate cases
* Conduct daily home visits on your own using the data for absenteeism, or vulnerable students with safeguarding concerns alongside With the Attendance Officer, send relevant letters, in line with the Attendance Policy, to the parents of students where there are attendance concerns
* Assist the school in dealing with attendance/inclusion issues through visits to schools and student’s homes, making referrals to appropriate agencies as needed
