Young people excluded from education

Evidence from research is unequivocal in making the links between truancy and exclusion and poor outcomes.  It is clear that these vulnerable young people who are excluded from or disaffected with education have a number of risk factors which may impact negatively, not only on their education but on their life chances more generally. They have many issues that need to be resolved but this should happen alongside not instead of a clear focus on educational attainment which is a key protective factor.  Our work aims to support practitioners to work together to achieve this.
