Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 Questionnaire

About this form

An absence enquiry into your child’s school attendance has been received. Your child has been identified as not attending regularly and that an offence under the Section 444 of the Education Act 1996 may have been committed.

In order to thoroughly investigate this and provide you with an opportunity to explain the absence, we would request that you complete this questionnaire. However, you are not obliged to complete the questions.  

If you do opt to complete the questions they must be completed by, the date stated on the letter sent out to you.

All responses are given under caution in accordance with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and as such, the responses may, in the event of prosecution, be put before the court.  You may therefore wish to seek independent legal advice before answering these questions.
