The Excludables: From mainstream classroom to prison education – understanding the children we exclude and why

About this book

When it comes to 'The Excludables', it is time to shake up the debate. Students who are excluded from school and society are at a higher risk of being incarcerated. They are more likely to have mental health difficulties, special educational needs, live in poverty, have social care involvement, and they disproportionately come from certain ethnic groups. This book pulls on all those threads using up-to-date research and establishes a deeper understanding of how and why these things affect school behaviours.
