The Children's Commissioner for England
Promoting the views and best interests of children and young people in England
Maggie Atkinson, Children's Commissioner for England has published findings from our School Exclusions Inquiry in the report, "They Never Give Up On You". It finds most schools work hard to cater for troubled students. However, for the first time on record, schools have admitted illegally excluding children.
As well as the report we have produced a film with the support of young people. It powerfully demonstrates what we found and you can view it here.
