On Human Rights Day 2020, we released 'Excluded' – a documentary amplifying young people's views on the complex issue of school exclusions. The project began in 2018, when I saw young people had held a protest against exclusions on the London Underground and I wanted to find out what had driven them to risk arrest. The more we heard the stories about exclusion from young people, the more I was convinced the film should only feature their voices. We hear so often about school exclusions from politicians, journalists and teachers but rarely from the people they affect the most. I wanted to give them the floor to enable them to show that they have credible and compelling ideas about what needs to change – and how much they chime with the thinking that underpins compassionate education approaches like the ‘Nurture’ programme in Glasgow. The film is a key moment for EachOther - because the co-production of this film has made us want to do more of these sorts of projects - where the people affected by the issue get to decide how their story is told. We hope you find something in the film that is useful and we'd love to hear from you if you've used the film in any way. It'll help us make more!
