THE latest phase of a crackdown on truancy among North Yorkshire youngsters was unveiled yesterday.
Education chiefs and police officers joined forces at a roadshow in Bedale, to give out advice about truancy and the problems associated with it.
Hambleton Community Safety Partnership officer, Chris Fields, said: "We hope that by talking to parents, as well as youngsters, regular attendance at school for all pupils will be secured."
As part of the initiative, truancy "sweeps" will also take place after the school summer break, with police approaching youngsters, whether alone or with parents, who should be in lessons.
The mobile police station will be in Stokesley tomorrow
