Reduce Mental Health Absences by Catching Problems Sooner
5% of all absence reports posted via Studybugs mention anxiety, fatigue, stress or depression.
Studybugs Wellbeing helps you take a whole-school approach to pupil wellbeing, so you can monitor it as closely as you would attendance.
Identify problems early, support children effectively and improve wellbeing across your school.
Prevent Worrying Signs From Becoming Serious Problems
School absence is often the earliest visible indicator of a bigger issue. And the more time a child spends off school, the harder it can be to return.
Studybugs automatically alerts key staff when a parent reports their child’s absence due to a wellbeing concern, so you can act quickly to address the underlying cause and minimise the amount of school they miss.
