This seminar aimed to examine questions about future options with three presentations followed by group discussion. Presentations were by Jules Daulby, Transparency on Exclusions: Giving SEND learners an equal shot at education; Dr Louise Gazeley, University of Sussex: When it comes to school exclusion processes who is accountable and for what? and Nicola Furey and James Roach, Inclusive Multi-Academy Trust. Watford: Inclusion, nurturing and succeeding -Is this possible? Future options were considered in the discussion groups in terms of what regulations, accountability and incentivisation.Jules Daulby argued that children with SEND have the right to be given an equal shot at education, this being a social justice issue. Reasonable adjustments are a legal requirement under the Equality Act with the removal of barriers required to ensure success. With vulnerable groups so over-represented in exclusions, off rolling and unexplained exits, the trend needs to be reversed as soon as possible. She presents various approaches that can be adopted, for instance, early identification of those at risk, incentives for schools to be more inclusive, specific staff training about topics and skills related to adverse life experiences and greater transparency about practices.
