Agenda Item 37 - Sitting on Both Sides of an Exclusion Panel with Shekeila Scarlett | #TheGovernorsPodcast

For today's Single Item Agenda (episode) we are joined by a guest speaker;

• Shekeila Scarlett, an Operations Manager for Transport for London and one of the youngest Chair of Governors in the country, governing at the only maintained secondary school in Hackney 

To discuss;

• Personal experience of the UK education system and the impact on life and career, incl. school bullying, the process of permanent exclusions from the perspective of the child, and appealing decisions at a Pupil Disciplinary Committee (PDC)
• Getting exclusion panels right, from the support for the parent and to ensuring representation - improving awareness, accessibility and advocacy
• The value of your lived experience and empowering young people to become governors - Why we need to diversify the current age profile of those in education governance space
• The journey to becoming a chair of a governing board in education at 26 - different ways of transitioning into the role incl. being an Associate Member, taking on a Co-opted Governor position
• From triggers and imposter syndrome to going viral and taking ownership of a new narrative
