Abstract

This research forms part of the Excluded Lives programme of research on The Political Economies of School Exclusion and their Consequences. Overall, it aims to understand the contextual and institutional processes that lead to different rates and types of exclusion across the UK. Data on permanent exclusions consistently show that Scotland has the lowest rates and England the highest rates. Underpinning the research in this report is a concern to look more closely at how professionals are responding to young people at risk of exclusion in the context of different jurisdiction policies and processes and through this identify ways in which more equitable outcomes can be achieved. This is realised through examining 75 trajectory case studies of young people at risk of exclusion from secondary schools across the four jurisdictions of the UK. We investigate staff concerns and the interventions and strategies that were deployed, and the outcomes for those young people.
