How do I report my child's absence?

The National Education Welfare Board (EWB, now part of Túsla) are the government body assigned to ensure that children are attending school and their welfare is being met. 

Under the Education Welfare Act 2002 the school is obliged to inform the EWB of all unexplained absences exceeding 20 days during the academic year.  Schools must take the attendance each day. 

 When a child is absent, a school must state the reason to the EWB.  

However, the reason must come in writing from the family. 

This can be communicated in your child's home-school notebook.
