Rhiannon Barker

Hosted by Claire Ashmore
Join us for an exciting ONLINE SEMINAR as part of Three NIHR Research Schools' Mental Health Programme Seminar Series
Engaging marginalised young people in education by Rhiannon Barker (LSHTM)
Thursday 24 April 2025, 12 noon to 1pm
Rates of school suspension and exclusion across the UK continue to rise. In the Autumn term of 2023/24 there were 346,279 suspensions. Children who are school excluded are both more likely to suffer mental health challenges and to become involved in criminal behaviours.
During this seminar, Rhiannon will talk about her qualitative Three Schools Fellowship which explored the intersections of school exclusion, mental health and involvement in criminal behaviour. She will discuss her public engagement work and show a video based around some of the research findings, produced by a team with experience of the issues being studied. She will conclude by involving the audience in a discussion considering how future research can build on interventions to promote school engagement.
Whether you are a healthcare professional, researcher, or simply interested in the topic, this event is for you.
