To understand the scale and scope of the attendance challenge, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council have led on work to explore existing data about attendance rates and patterns over time. During 2023, they convened a ‘data and intelligence workstream’ that sought not only to look at attendance data in isolation, rather understand the different data that might be collected around any child, young person or family – by different services for example in youth justice, public health and social care – that could help build joined up and comprehensive intelligence that would enable more confident, targeted work in future.
You may like to look at this helpful infographic as a way into the topic but if you are interested in learning more about, or contributing towards, the data and intelligence workstream for the Making Attendance Everyone’s Business Project please don’t hesitate to contact:

RCBC Attendance Slides – January 2024
Attendance Data Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council Spring Term 2023/2024
If you're interested in attendance and absence rates in the Borough based on returns to DfE by all 57 schools, including which populations and places are most affected you'll want to read these slides. They give important facts and clues about where, for example, any targeted interventions and / or place-based pilot activity could be focused as part of the Making Attendance Everyone's Business Project. Thank you to Ryan Shields (RCBC) for completing different customised analyses of the data to support our work.
