Absenteeism Truancy Dropping out of school

School refusal manifests itself in varying degrees of intensity and can lead to dropping out of school. The development towards this is usually a process, but professional intervention is possible at every stage. To a certain extent, school refusal is a symptom; the underlying causes are individual and often very complex. Multi-professional cooperation is required to prevent children and young people from being excluded from education. This book deals with the relevant conceptual discussions as well as a summary of causes and risk factors. Practical models and theoretical explanations are used to examine measures against school refusal and their quality criteria. The result shows that dealing with the problem requires very specific approaches. A focus is also placed on socio-pedagogical and social work measures, which are compared with the possibilities of a school social work facility. This book offers a brief theoretical introduction to the subject and, by presenting practical models, it can provide everyday solutions as an impulse for the professional treatment of school refusal.
