Reducing exclusions working group

Aims, vision and purpose

We are hoping to reach out to any EPs, TEPs or Assistant EPs who would be interested in joining us to form a working group on reducing exclusions.

We are hoping to use the forum for:

  • Sharing good practice across EP services/local authorities
  • Networking opportunities
  • CPD and keeping up to date with research in this area
  • Creating a space to gain peer support for our work in this area

Additionally, we are looking for people to present/share their work or research in this area at our group meetings. We anticipate this will be a great space to disseminate thesis research or any ongoing projects within EP practice. This can be anything from an informal CPD discussion to a PowerPoint presentation. Please could you let us know if this would be something you would be interested in.

For more information about the group you can contact Cathryn, Ellen or Anna.

Meet up arrangements

Currently, we meet online using Microsoft Teams for one hour. We are hoping that we can use the first half hour for CPD and the second half hour for discussions, sharing of good practice and reflections.

Our dates for the next academic year are:

  • Tuesday 9th September 2025, 3-4pm
  • Tuesday 13th January 2026 3-4pm
  • Tuesday 21st April, 2026 3-4pm

Please do let us know if you are interested in the group but those dates/times do not work for you, we will try to be flexible where possible to include as many people as possible.
