The England Excluded Lives team, based at the University of Oxford, have worked with partners from the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), the National Association of Headteachers (NAHT), and the Local Government Association (LGA) to produce policy and practice recommendations around developing school inclusion and reducing school exclusions in England. The recommendations in Equity by Design are based on research findings and professionals’ experience of schools.

This panel discussion will highlight the policy and practice implications of the paper and respondents will comment on feasibility and where further development is needed.
