The organisers of this conference, Carl Parsons and Adam Abdelnoor, are leading researchers and activists in addressing disciplinary exclusions from school. This conference is about reducing or eliminating the need for exclusion by good organisation of educational provision to meet the full range of needs.

This conference is primarily for local authority education leaders, local children's trust managers, behaviour support team leaders, school cluster leaders, headteachers and senior teachers and others concerned with political and strategic decision-making on educational inclusion.

  Conference objectives:

• Communicate strategies used by local authorities to reduce fixed term and permanent exclusions
• Debate the potential benefits of zero school exclusions
• Extend understanding of the full range of provision which can count as 'educational'
• Develop understanding of the means by which a low or zero exclusion strategy can be created and sustained at local authority level

  Benefits to delegates:

• Learn how to apply the six point inclusion strategy which low excluding LAs successfully use
• Understand in detail, four exemplary projects which will dovetail with your existing strategy
• Discover effective ways to reduce costs and increase effectiveness of alternative provision

•   Free resource pack containing:

  •  'A concise guide to community-based inclusion' which will help influence the strategic and political agenda in your locality.
