Wirral Council’s Attendance Service works to make sure every child gets the most out of their education.
We work closely with:
- children and young people
- parents and carers
- schools
- other support services
Together, we aim to help children attend school regularly and reach their full potential.
Get advice and support on school attendance and absence for parents and carers within Wirral.
We also provide guidance for:
- Elective Home Education
- chaperone licences for children taking part in entertainment
- information and permits for children and young people in employment
Parents who are concerned about their child’s school attendance should contact us on 0151 666 3433. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
If we are unable to take your call immediately, please leave a clear message stating your name, child’s name, date of birth, school and a telephone number and email address (optional). We will get back to you as soon as possible (typically the same day or the following day if the call is later in the afternoon).
