Are schools excluding too many children, or are there times when permanent exclusion is necessary?
In this throwback conversation, Wayne Norrie shares an honest and balanced perspective on exclusions, alternative provision, SEND and the growing pressure facing schools.
We discuss why schools work so hard to avoid exclusion, but also why serious behaviour towards staff cannot simply be accepted.
Wayne also explores:

⚖️ When permanent exclusion becomes the right decision
💬 The debate around alternative provision
