EBSA Support Plan (R.I.S.E. Framework)
Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) can affect a young person’s learning, relationships, and well-being. Supporting children and families through this journey requires a clear, structured plan that recognises individual needs while building trust and resilience.
Our EBSA Support Plan, built around the R.I.S.E. framework, offers a practical way for schools and families to work together. It ensures early identification of needs, supportive strategies, and a collaborative approach that keeps the child at the centre.
What is R.I.S.E.?
- R – Recognise: Spot early warning signs and understand the root causes.
- I – Involve: Work with pupils, parents, and staff to co-create solutions.
- S – Support: Implement tailored strategies and adjustments.
- E – Evaluate: Review progress regularly and adapt as needed
Why use this EBSA support plan?

- Encourages meaningful pupil and parent voice.
