Publisher's Synopsis
With chapters by Mike Solomon, Rebekah Boyd, Fiona Blyth and Richard Lewis. Exclusion from school or college powerfully affects lives. In this book three practicing psychologists working with young people in inner cities explore the experiences of people who have been involved with exclusion from school: the child, the family, the excluding school and the receiving unit. Each party tells their own story, so although they relate the same events, each story is different. The astonishing complexity of the lives of those excluded is illuminated. Excluded from School is essential reading for professionals working with children and young people who are vulnerable and at risk of exclusion: social workers, educational psychologists, teachers in schools and pupil referral units, learning mentors and local authority policy makers.
