CTLR/SEAP Network Workshop: The ‘four sides’ of educational exclusion

Join us for this upcoming CTLR/SEAP Network interactive talk and workshop:

The ‘four sides’ of educational exclusion: The compounding effects of school, system, service and societal factors on educational marginalisation

Presenter: Luke Billingham

Date: Thursday 21 November

Time: 3.45-5.30pm

Drawing on his youth work experience as well as his academic research, Luke will discuss the ‘four sides’ of educational exclusion. This refers to the compounding exclusionary effects of factors operating (1) within individual schools; (2) within the wider education system; (3) within adjacent services for children, young people and families; and (4) within society more broadly. After presenting a brief overview of this framework, exemplified by a composite case study, Luke will then facilitate a workshop to explore with attendees the most significant school, system, service and societal factors affecting educational exclusion today. We will also – hopefully! – begin to sketch out what might be done about them.
