Protect The Boy Child: The Initiative
PTBCI
We need collective action to protect the boy child nationally and beyond!

Record-high school exclusions are a pressing issue, limiting children's futures while only addressing symptoms of deeper problems.
PTBCI believes that by focusing more on prevention, we can tackle root causes like unmet special needs, mental health issues, discrimination, and socioeconomic challenges.
Building a more inclusive education system requires collaborative, preventative action from policymakers, educators, and communities, benefiting all children.

We must take preventative action now
To build a more inclusive education system that benefits every child, Mission 44 urges action in four key areas:
Embed inclusion into accountability and the curriculum
PTBCI’s recommendations
Publish a national framework for inclusive education practice for schools
Introduce a national student experience survey
Mandate all schools publish data on the use of unaccountable exclusions, like off-rolling and managed moves
Ensure that any changes to the curriculum focus on increasing students’ sense of belonging in education
Increase personalised support for vulnerable learners
PTBCI’s recommendations
Ensure every child at risk of exclusion has a trusted adult relationship and mentorship offer
Ensure any new SEND strategy leads to improved provision in mainstream education
Create a national framework for schools and MATs to raise the quality and consistency of internal and external alternative provision
Phase out the use of poor quality alternative provision by the end of the parliament
A more diverse, inclusive workforce
PTBCI’s recommendations
Match-fund PTBCI’s investment in increasing diversity in teaching and senior school leadership
Introduce mandatory inclusive practice and anti-racism training for all teachers and school governors.
Tackle exclusion beyond the school gates
PTBIC’s recommendations
Commit funding for schools to collaborate with external partners to prevent school exclusions
Provide greater transparency of the exclusions process and rights to appeal with parents and careers
