The EBSA pathway has been designed to provide a framework for schools to help them with the identification, assessment and support of EBSA. 

The Profile of Risk schedule looks at 5 key risk areas for EBSA. The checklist is for use alongside usual attendance monitoring systems in school to screen for possible EBSA in relation to non-attendance. 

This form is designed to explore key information from members of staff who work the most closely with the young person. Each member of staff may have valuable information to help identify triggers for anxiety and strategies the young person responds positively to. In particular it is important to seek out the views of any members of staff the young person speaks positively about and any member of staff where relationships may be more difficult.

This form is designed to help integrate the information gathered from the young person, school and family. It is not designed to be a questionnaire but a tool to be completed after the information gathering to help you collate, integrate and analyse the information gathered from a variety of sources. 

Here is an example of a support plan. However, the format of the support plan should be flexible. If appropriate a young person’s version should be created. 

The Good practice checklist outlines the culture, structures, resources and practice within a school that can promote wellbeing of staff and young people, with particular reference to EBSA
