Devon County Council Inclusion and Wellbeing Services
The Education Inclusion Service provides a statutory, but impartial service for parents and carers, school governors, headteachers, school staff and other agencies about inclusion, reintegration and exclusion. Early support from the team can help a child to stay in school, or return to school after an exclusion and offer opportunities to help them achieve their full potential.
