For Penalty Notices in respect of Unauthorised Leave of Absence (Holiday in Term Time)

  • Provide copies of parent’s request for leave, if any, and school’s response if the request is refused.
  • Provide copy of letter to the parent/carer if the parent did not make the request for leave but you have reason to believe the child was on holiday and you have warned them that, as a result, you will be referring to the LA for a penalty notice.
  • Ensure you are referring for the parent/carer who took the child on holiday or absence of leave.
  • Send in the referral as soon as the absence of leave has ended.
  • Ensure the period of absence was for 5 days (10 sessions) or more.
