One of the other complaints made by parents of excluded children is the lack of information available to them. It runs an information line, so parents can send off for details about government guidelines on exclusions and about what options are open to them. The group also staffs a free help-line on weekday afternoons, where parents are given support and legal advice. Susan Rees is a barrister employed to co-ordinate the advice line.

The emphasis should be on having a good strategy in school to help teachers manage children's behaviour. Games website helps pupils Links to more Education stories are at the foot of the page.
