Action plan if children cannot yet go to school..

The period that schools were closed is behind us. Yet not all children can go to school. For example, because they (or family members) have a vulnerable health. When these parents explain the situation, school does not always cooperate. To clarify this, Ouders & Onderwijs and other parent organizations made a framework for action.

Due to medical problems, there can be situations, sometimes on advice from the treating (child) doctor, where pupils do not go to school. If this is the case, the rules that also apply to sick pupils must be followed.

School obligation

The school is responsible to provide sufficient education properly. But the school also decides how this is arranged. If parents find this insufficient, they can report it to the Education Inspectorate.

Framework for action

According to the framework for action, it is important that involved organizations, such as the school, youth doctor, and attendance officer, make workable agreements with parents about the best way to provide education to the child. If there is a difference of opinion, it is important to keep talking and look for solutions. It is undesirable to force a child to go to school by pressure or coercion (like a report or notification to Safe Home).
