From Fear to Support: Helping children back to school

Available for over a year

Crewe mum Sheila Griffiths shares her family’s experience of school refusal, sparked by bullying and its lasting impact. She explains the difference between truancy and refusal, the emotional toll on children and parents, and why fines often fail. Sheila also outlines how Hope 4 More supports families through creative programmes, counselling, and confidence-building to help young people re-engage with education.
