Your EBSA Signs and Symptoms Checklist Primary: Identifying Risk, Informing Action
An editable Word document to support early identification of Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) in primary-aged children.
 
The Your EBSA Signs and Symptoms Checklist Primary is a practical screening tool designed for professionals working with younger children who may be showing signs of school-related emotional distress. This structured resource helps identify potential EBSA through observable behaviours, emotional indicators, and situational factors. The built-in scoring system supports consistent assessment, helping to prioritise cases and inform next steps in planning appropriate support.
 
This version is specifically designed for primary-aged children, with developmentally appropriate indicators.

For older pupils, a student-friendly alternative, designed to be completed with adult support, is also available and better suited for secondary-aged children.
 
Key Benefits:
Targeted: Focuses on the primary-aged child, using age-appropriate signs and behaviours.
Clear: Provides a straightforward scoring framework to flag levels of concern.
Professional: Designed for use by educators, inclusion teams, and support staff as part of early identification.
Preventative: Helps ensure timely recognition and intervention before non-attendance patterns take hold.
