Public Seminar on Alternative Provision

A public seminar is to be held online discussing the types of Alternative Provision in England & Wales. The seminar is organised through Excluded Lives, a multi-disciplinary project based at the University of Oxford’s department for education, which aims to provide a comprehensive view on the different policies, practices and costs of formal, informal and illegal school exclusions in the UK. The project is exploring the landscapes of exclusion and the experiences of the young people involved. The research is to be used to provide the basis on which the consequences of different political economies may be understood, decisions of policy makers and professionals may be improved, and experiences of pupils’ and their families enhanced.

There have already been a number of podcasts, videos and publications produced already and investigating diverse topics such as persistent school absence, rates of school exclusions and the impact of exclusion on the long-term labour market.

The webinar will be held online on Thursday 6th October 4:30pm to 6:30pm.
