Description:... * Why are there increasing numbers of children being excluded from primary schools? * What are the characteristics & circumstances (home & school) of children excluded from primary school? * What can be done to reduce & possibly eliminate exclusion from school? There can be no more serious sanction taken against a child of primary school age than exclusion from school. In this book, Carol Hayden explores the policy context in which exclusions are happening & presents evidence from a two year, ESRC funded national research project on the issue. The book provides evidence about what is happening, as well as some insight into why exclusion is happening with a view to informing practical responses to the issue.
