This webinar by Dr Sam Beasley offers a clear introduction to Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA). It explains EBSA as a pattern of reduced attendance driven by emotional distress or anxiety, outlines how the anxiety cycle maintains avoidance and describes ways to assess the underlying factors. The session also provides practical guidance for schools on creating supportive environments that help pupils feel safe and ready to re-engage with learning.Â
