Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding attendance challenges can be complex, and we know schools, local authorities and families often have questions about how we can help. Below you’ll find answers to some of the most common queries about our attendance services — from early intervention and case management to support for pupils experiencing emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA).
What types of attendance issues do you support with?
We work closely with schools and families to provide a tailored end-to-end case management service for each young person that is referred to our service. We manage simple interventions such as families taking holidays in term time, through to complex cases that might require additional interventions to address underlying attendance issues. We work with social care teams and local authority services to initiate fines and court proceedings where families do not respond to planned interventions.
How do your Education Welfare Officers (EWOs) work with schools?
We assign a dedicated team to each school and offer a range of commissioning options tailored to the level of support needed. Each school is provided with named staff, along with a team leader and manager. Referrals can be made at any point during the school week.Our staff work both on and off school premises, attend school meetings, and meet with pupils and families either at school or at home. They become a visible, consistent point of contact for the entire school community.
Do you provide support for both mainstream and alternative provision settings?
Yes, we provide services to a range of settings both small and large. We support primary and secondary phases, work with individual schools and PRU’s, and also partner with some clients on a whole-trust level.
Can we commission a one-off attendance audit?
Yes, we recommend this for any new school considering our services. The audit helps determine the level of attendance case management support the school may need – regardless of whether that support comes from Momenta Attendance or another provider.
What does a typical engagement look like – is it a one-off or ongoing support?
We don’t require long-term, fixed contracts when working with new clients. Instead, we offer a range of commissioning options tailored to each school’s context and level of need. Our staff work both on and off school premises, attending meetings with staff and parents as needed. We provide a community-based service that isn’t restricted to a fixed day each week, giving schools the flexibility to access support when it’s needed most. Whether short or long term, our provision is designed to adapt as needs change over time.
Do you offer support with persistent absenteeism and EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance)?
Yes, we have access to a unique service called Momenta 360, which is specifically designed to provide targeted reintegration support for young people experiencing a range of anxiety disorders that affect their attendance.
How quickly can support be put in place once we make a referral?
Our support is immediate. An individual referral will be processed by our administration team and assigned to your named EWO within 24 hours.
Is your support available nationwide or in specific regions?
Our support is available nationally.
