About us
The School Exclusions Hub provides information and tools for community and advice organisations to enable them to support families through the process of challenging unfair school exclusions.
We aim to grow this area of the Hub in the coming months to include more resources to empower young people and families with knowledge on the school exclusion process so you can get the support you need. You can view our current resources below.

- The School Exclusion Project – The School Exclusion Project provides free legal representation to challenge permanent school exclusion.
- IPSEA (Independent Provider of Special Education Advice) – Free and independent legal advice and support to families of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
