Your EBSA Student Reflection Checklist Secondary: Listening to Pupils, Informing Support
An editable Word document designed to support student voice in identifying Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) at the secondary level.
The Your EBSA Student Reflection Checklist Secondary is a student-friendly screening tool created to support early identification of EBSA in secondary-aged pupils, while also being suitable for older primary children who would benefit from supported reflection and discussion. Designed to be completed with adult support, the checklist encourages young people to explore and share their experiences of school-related emotional distress. Structured prompts and a simple scoring system help guide understanding and inform sensitive, timely intervention.
This resource complements the Primary Signs and Symptoms Checklist, which is designed for adult use with younger children.
Key Benefits:
Age-Appropriate: Tailored for secondary students, but also useful with older primary pupils ready for guided reflection.
