Right Choice becomes the subject of a Doctoral Research Project into understanding the psychology of disengagement from Education in Students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (S.E.M.H.) Disabilities and Acquired Brain Injuries. The study is predicated on high exclusion rates, high numbers of students diagnosed with S.E.M.H. and a disproportionate representation of S.E.M.H students in schools’ exclusions data (ONS). Due for completion in 2024.
