NEET parent

The challenges of motivating a youngster who is not in employment education or training in the U.K can be many.
Society regards it as a parental issue but if a child is excluded from school then .............

I wonder if many youngsters see being permanently excluded as a badge of honour?

My son was permanently excluded from school in March. The last exclusion meeting could have been saved but it was his attitude that had become the barrier.

I think he felt that the world owed him a favour. However the reality is that he had missed so much school that he would have struggled to understand the lessons and thus his attitude would have been that of isolation from those around him. The temptation then what ever his ability to catch up would be to be away from the environment that he couldn't cope with

Permanent Exclusion however doesn't seem to be a trigger within the social care for concern

In the local school there were 8 stages to exclusion. Yet byt the time the exclusion had occurred outside bodies hadnt become involved.
