Can't Face School

The team at Can’t Face School have been an amazing support to our family during a distressing and challenging time. Their care and hard work has been integral to helping my son re-engage in school in a supported, safe and positive way. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who finds their child struggling to attend school or school refusing.

As caregivers/parents, we need this business to expand rapidly because there are so many families that require this service. Sometimes it's not just the children who can't face school, but also the exhausted caregivers/parents who can't face it either! The support and advocacy that the Can't Face School team provides is invaluable. They can provide assistance from a removed perspective, which is crucial because we can be emotionally invested in our children. They know the system, how to navigate it, and what is reasonable, and can advocate for us caregivers/parents from a collaborative and professional standpoint.

Can't face school supported us to navigate the challenges of both primary and secondary school advocating on our behalf whilst also including my son in any decision making with a collaborative, respectful and a positive neuro-affirming approach. We found them just at the right time, when we were feeling completely burned out by meetings and re-engineering things at school! Having an advocate who understands the school system but also truly understands what it's like from a parent perspective is rare. I just wish there were more organizations around like this one.
