In October 2015 after almost 16 years of working for and in turn managing a Local Authority Education Welfare I with two partners established CSAWS (Central School Attendance and Welfare Service ltd.) CSAWS is a team of proactive, passionate and committed Education Welfare Officers. We are committed to achieving better outcomes for children by securing regular attendance at school.
