The default position of social exclusion is to see it as a social issue with social causes. This is not accurate or helpful. Social exclusion begins when children begin to fail to manage their enviroment/social demands (home or school). We can do much more than we do to support parents and children manage and succeed in facing life challenges and thus prevent the process of personal failure leading to social exclusion.

At primary school, most children consider themselves 'included in society' generally; after several years at secondary level, many are "outside" society. Clubs do not address this issue. A "school" environment is not appropriate for many young people today and that is why society has so many problems.

I agree with your views here. It is about bringing a market style intelligence and dynamism to reaching the youth. I will be curious to hear how the pilot goes. I would also be keen to discuss some of my own initiatives. Feel free to ping me a line at dan.marmar@oba.co.uk, and I can send you across some materials. Cheers, Dan Word.
