When Should a School Permanently Exclude a Child? with Stephen Steinhaus

Stephen Steinhaus joins Cameron Parker for an open and thought provoking conversation about permanent exclusion, behaviour, high standards and alternative provision.

Stephen shares his perspective on the human cost of permanently excluding a young person, why schools must be able to honestly say they have done everything they can, and why exclusion can sometimes provide a young person with a new opportunity.

The conversation also explores school uniform, behaviour policies, high expectations, funding, alternative provision and one of the biggest challenges in education: how do we maintain standards while still meeting the individual needs of young people?

They also discuss when schools should consider alternative provision, whether the education system is investing enough in its most vulnerable students, and why some young people simply need someone willing to keep fighting for them.

A fascinating conversation with plenty of disagreement, different perspectives and important questions about what we expect from our schools and our young people.
