If your child has been excluded from school and lives in the County

If your son or daughter has been excluded from school and lives in the County they can get in touch with a Nottinghamshire Learning Centre Connexions Personal Adviser.

In the County, Connexions has specialised Personal Advisers who can support you and your child through this difficult time.

Nottinghamshire Learning Centre Connexions Personal Advisers

Nottinghamshire Learning Centre Connexions Personal Advisers work with young people who are permanently excluded from school and young people who are referred to Alternative to Exclusion/Pupil Placement Panels. The Connexions Personal Adviser will support a young person while they are out of school and during the ‘settling in period’ when they are admitted into a new school.  The purpose of these Advisers is to help a young person cope with the transition and to assist schools in understanding the specific needs of a young person who has been excluded.
