The Excluded to Included training programme is a transformative experience for school staff, offering practical tips and invaluable advice. School staff will gain the knowledge and skills needed to support students at risk of exclusion.

The programme helps schools reduce exclusions by developing an understanding of the factors that affect pupils' behaviours and relationships. Having this understanding of the motivation behind a pupils' actions is key in improving attendance and building positive relationships. It also equips school staff with effective support mechanisms for those navigating potential exclusion.

Following this one-day training session, staff will know how to effectively implement strategies and policies. These will help students remain in school and become valued members of the school community. Addressing the causes of potential exclusions will help contribute to creating a more inclusive, supportive, and thriving learning environment.

The programme serves as a catalyst for positive change within schools. Ultimately, the programme plays a pivotal role in reshaping the narrative of school environments. With the aim of working towards inclusivity, empathy, and the overall well-being of all students.
