Module description

With the number of exclusions rising, negative outcomes for young people are a reality. Therefore, governors need to ensure that they have done all they can to support the young person in question. This interactive module takes you through an exclusion from all sides, and how governors and trustees can work with the school to minimise the number of exclusions.
