Abstract
The national scarcity of reliable and comprehensive data regarding the numbers of children missing from formal full-time education was highlighted in a report from the Local Government Association (LGA/Osos, 2020). Following the LGAs’ report, and in order to understand the CME situation in depth within a local context, NBS investigated the experience of the CME Team in Nottingham City Council using the databases available for the period 2016-2021. The study looked at the geographic and demographic patterns of CME cases in Nottingham and analysed the characteristics of CME cases, identified the main circumstances and the ‘triggers’ that have resulted in referrals of CMEs, and the resolution of cases (Liu-Smith et al., 2023).
Without a clear sense of the numbers in England, it is very difficult to be precise about the scale or nature of intervention that might be needed either locally or nationally to address the issue. In Feb. 2024, the government released ‘estimated’ figures as “official statistics in development” for Children missing education (CME). The media and public response to this release was both surprise and alarm with CME estimated at 33,000 in 2023 compared to 24,700 in 2022. This paper will analyse additional data from Nottingham covering the last two full years of data to assess how the pattern of CME has changed and whether the latest national figures are reflected locally.
