School exclusions report
23 July 2010
Black boys and girls are still disproportionately excluded from school according to a new collection of essays by Runnymede.
Highlighting that black Caribbean pupils are three times more likely to be permanently excluded from school than their white counterparts, the report also argues that proposals made by the Conservative Party when in opposition to scrap the right of appeal for excluded students could disproportionately impact on black pupils if implemented.
The aim of the report – which contains essays by exclusions experts such as Diane Abbott MP, Val Gillies and Cecile Wright – is to outline the considerations needed when developing exclusions policy, as well as highlighting policy proposals to tackle exclusion levels.
