Our exclusion policy and guidance was developed in 2017. The aim from the Scottish Government is for all children and young people to be fully included, engaged and involved in their education; and, to improve outcomes.
The main purpose of exclusion is to ensure appropriate support for the child or young person, and that they are able to re-engage in education.

Statistics on exclusions from schools in Scotland indicate that children and young people are more likely to be excluded where they: •have a disability
•Are looked after
•from the most deprived areas;
•have an additional support need
•have an additional support need that has been identified as social, emotional and behavioural
