EXCLUSION FROM PRIMARY SCHOOL: CHILDREN ‘IN NEED’ AND CHILDREN WITH ‘SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEED’

EXCLUSION FROM PRIMARY SCHOOL: CHILDREN ‘IN NEED’ AND CHILDREN WITH ‘SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEED’ The article utilises evidence from a national research project focusing on exclusion from primary school to discuss the issue of how we begin to conceptualise the needs underlying the behaviour of many of these children. The research was funded by the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) over a two year period, 1993‐1995. Reference is made to some limited follow‐up work on 65 children who were originally excluded from primary school in the Autumn term of 1993. The article argues that the evidence about children excluded from primary school illustrates that they should be viewed primarily as children with special educational needs and/or children ‘in need’ and therefore entitled to the support and protection from legislation which recognises these needs, rather than viewed as a discipline problem which requires appropriate sanctions, one of which is exclusion from school. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties Taylor & Francis

Abstract

The article utilises evidence from a national research project focusing on exclusion from primary school to discuss the issue of how we begin to conceptualise the needs underlying the behaviour of many of these children. The research was funded by the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) over a two year period, 1993‐1995. Reference is made to some limited follow‐up work on 65 children who were originally excluded from primary school in the Autumn term of 1993. The article argues that the evidence about children excluded from primary school illustrates that they should be viewed primarily as children with special educational needs and/or children ‘in need’ and therefore entitled to the support and protection from legislation which recognises these needs, rather than viewed as a discipline problem which requires appropriate sanctions, one of which is exclusion from school.
