Penalty notice code of conduct

Parent fines for unauthorised absences will be brought under a national framework to support a consistent approach across Local Authorities through the Working together to support attendance guidance which will move to statutory as of the 19 August 2024. 

Oxfordshire County Councils Code of Conduct will be altered to reflect the changes outlined which includes a move to a minimum of 10 sessions absence over a maximum of a 10 week period and an increase in the fine issued. The Code of Conduct will be amended and shared in the summer term 24 in preparation for the start of the new academic year. 

If you have any questions about the changes please contact Jo Goodey Education Inclusion Manager on joanna.goodey@oxfordshire.gov.uk
