SUPPORTING THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR WORK WITH PUPILS WHO ARE VULNERABLE, DISSAFFECTED OR EXCLUDED

 

 

EXCLUSIONS 

From August 2009 this will be one of PINS new thematic areas.

The Scottish Government is working with partners to develop new guidance on exclusions, developing existing guidance which is provided in ‘Included, Engaged and Involved: part 1’ (see below for more). The thrust of the new guidance will be on inclusion and working positively and creatively with children and young people for whom exclusions have been an experience in the past, or remain a concern. PINS will seek to engage our membership in current debates and developments.

If you are involved in creative responses to reducing or tackling school exclusion let us know.

And watch this space for more.
