Routledge Building Community for Equitable Inclusive Schools - Routledge

This Routledge research book challenges conventional approaches to school discipline and behaviour management across the UK and USA by drawing on extensive international literature and policy insights. It focuses specifically on children with social, emotional and behavioural or mental health needs, offering educators and policy makers alternative perspectives grounded in collaborative and relational approaches. The book argues for systemic change that moves schools towards more equitable, inclusive and compassionate practice. By examining the orthodoxies and structures that marginalise young people, it provides frameworks for building genuine community within educational settings. Designed for educators, administrators, researchers and those in educational policy, this work bridges theory and practice to support the creation of schools where all children can thrive.
