Children's Homes and School Exclusion
Isabelle Brodie, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 116 Pentonville Road, London N1 9JB; £16.95
The publication is based on small-scale qualitative research into exclusion from school of a group of looked-after children living in children's homes. The events, factors and processes leading up to exclusion are explored; the perceptions of the young people are included. The author presents a framework for intervention at a policy and a practice level, which should be of use to social care staff working with looked-after children and young people.
