A story about education, attendance and belonging.
Belonging: The Story Behind the National Attendance Portal explores the experiences, people and ideas that led to a different way of thinking about school attendance.
Attendance is often discussed through percentages, persistent absence figures and interventions. But behind every statistic sits a child, a family and a story.
Belonging explores why relationships, inclusion, leadership, opportunity and feeling genuinely connected to school can matter just as much as the systems we use to monitor absence.

YOUR
RISK
Understanding your risk matters.
Anyone with a prostate can develop prostate cancer, but some men have a higher risk. Risk increases with age, particularly after 50. Black men and men with a father or brother who has had prostate cancer are also at increased risk.
Prostate cancer does not always cause symptoms in its earlier stages, so understanding personal risk can be important.
