Jo's short script about the #attendance crisis - Unauthorised Absence - is a finalist for the IMDB Script to Screen Award 2025.

Ruth Moyse talks about her past research on autistic children and schools. Every child who wasn't able to attend school said they wished they could attend. But they can't do it. It's impossible for them.
It's not school 'refusal'. They can't access the school.
