New Report from Family Pathway: Alternative Provision in 2025

Our latest report — “Divergence or Drift? Reclaiming Purpose in a System Under Pressure” — is now live.

This powerful insight exposes how thousands of vulnerable learners are being diverted into internal exclusion, isolation units, and fragmented pathways — often unrecorded, unregulated, and unchallenged.

With evidence from across Wales and England, the report reveals:

• A surge in EOTAS and hidden exclusions

• The £1.85 billion societal cost of exclusion

• How learners with ALN are 6x more likely to be excluded

• What high-quality internal AP should really look like

As we plan for September, this is essential reading for ALNCOs, heads of year, school leaders, and inclusion practitioners.
