Drawing on the latest neuroscientific research and rooted in good practice, Educating Everyone presents the concept of Relational Inclusion, encouraging schools to reconsider their traditional perspectives on mental health and behaviour.
The authors pose thought-provoking questions about longstanding conventional approaches to behaviour management in schools that have remained largely unchanged since the inception of compulsory state education. They present a range of strategies that extend beyond the needs of individuals with complex requirements who are often isolated as a result of the misguided concept that they can be "taught" to conform. Relational Inclusion is advocated as an inclusive approach that can benefit all children and adults, fostering comprehension of the underlying causes behind behavioural challenges. This book provides an essential framework for responding to students' behaviour that has been tried and tested in real classrooms.
Schools play a pivotal role in teaching these essential skills and attitudes, and this accessible resource provides educators with valuable insights and practical strategies for creating a nurturing and supportive environment within school settings. It will appeal to educationalists across the educational sector, including headteachers and policy leaders as well as behaviour leads, classroom teachers, support staff, and anyone who works with children and young people.

"It is rare to find an educational book that is both entertaining and has the power to transform schools. Thought provoking, funny and based on the authors' real life experiences in schools, this book is one that all teachers and senior leaders will be able to relate to. If you are at all interested in moving beyond 'sanctions and rewards' to create a truly relationally based inclusive school then this book is a must read."
-Simon Brereton, Head of Holy Trinity CE Primary, UK
"This book beautifully blends personal stories, professional insight and real experiences with relational practice and an ambition for inclusivity at the centre. Stories and insights articulate a child focused approach to inclusion born from authentic understanding. The output is an easy to read, thought provoking and insightful look at relational inclusion, behaviour and neuroscience which showcases as an enjoyable read and useful guidance for professionals, parents and carers supporting young people."
-Kate Longworth, CEO Gaia Learning, UK
"This is an important, ambitious and readable book which will change hearts and minds. It is a rich account of the authors' insights, experiences and reflections coupled with practical approaches to creating a culture that supports the inclusion and well-being of all children and young people. It challenges conventional wisdom about managing behaviour, replacing traditional punitive approaches with those that foster mutually respectful relationships and create caring yet firm and explicit boundaries. Central to this approach is compassion, respect and repair, rather than sanctions or punishment.The book is thought- provoking and raises questions that deserve serious thought and discussion."
-Maggie Roger, The Laurel Trust, UK
