Children and young people spend a great deal of their time in
schools and other education settings. Consequently those working in
such contexts have a huge impact and influence on the development,
experiences and thinking of the children and young people with whom
they interact. This book represents the richness and variety of
ideas shared by some of the contributors to the first European
Conference on Child and Adolescent Mental Health in Education
Settings, held in Paris in 2005 and hosted by the Tavistock and
Portman NHS Foundation Trust. The intention of the event was to
gather together child mental health and educational professionals
from across Europe to share innovative practice. The success and
impact of this conference was such that it became the first of what
is now a bi-annual series of events each taking place in a
different European city.
Excluded From School exposes the reasons why, despite many national
and local initiatives, large numbers of children continue to tax
the education system to such a degree that they become permanently
excluded from school. Sue Rendall and Morag Stuart draw on their
experience in psychology and education to demonstrate the need for
a more thorough exploration of the underlying root causes of the
problem. Based on a systemic framework, their approach allows the
inclusion of a vast range of possible contributory factors: within
the child, within the family, within the school, and within the
complex interrelations between these three systems. By
demonstrating the need for inter-discipline and inter-agency
collaboration, the authors succeed in presenting a persuasive
challenge to the blame culture which exists between schools,
parents and educational professionals and policymakers in relation
to school exclusion. The original research presented here, along
with the inclusion of the experiences of children, parents and
teachers, provides a valuable new perspective on the problem of
school exclusions that will be welcomed by all professionals
working in this field.
