Reviews for Using an Inclusive Approach to Reduce School Exclusion: A Practitioner’s Handbook

The authors give impassioned as well as coherent reasons for continuing to pursue and re-energise inclusion from early years to secondary school. The well-being, knowledge, skills and qualities of staff are acknowledged as essential. The book provides a sound tool for making a difference to how the mountain may be climbed as the profession aspires to achieve both quality and equality through successful inclusion. - Aneith Thomas, Educational Psychology in Practice
